-The performance of catalysts in different forms was investigated for the design of a catalytic combustor with hydrogen fuel. The catalysts tested had dimensions of 150 x 150 mm, and consisted of a ceramic honeycomb impregnated with Pt, two Ni metal foams coated with Pd powder which differed from each other in pore size, and a ceramic foam coated with Co-Mn-Ag oxide powder. In the diffusive mod...
