This study is originally motivated by the thermal balance equations for the gas and solid inter- phase heat-transfer for the fast-igniting catalytic converter of automobiles. Instead of solving this problem directly, we proved some results concerning the existence and uniqueness for abstract semilinear initial value problem by means of C0, 1-semigroup theories on locally convex topological space. The most enjoyable here is that these results not only can be applied to solve the interphase heat-transfer for the fast-igniting catalytic converter of automobile under the situation of preheating at the entry edge of converter, but also can be applied to some other practical problems. 1. Introduction Monolithic catalytic reactors are used in a variety of environmental and industrial appli- cations. There has been a great deal of research in catalytic converter technology since in the mid-1970s. The initial few minutes after starting a car when the converter is still cold is
