Effects of ammonia addition on soot formation in ethylene laminar premixed flames

Can Shao et al.

Summary: This study investigated particle size distributions and chemical compositions of soot in ethylene-oxygen flames with and without ammonia doping. The results showed that ammonia doping inhibits soot formation and decreases the size and volume fraction of soot particles. This was attributed to the generation of C-N species in ethylene-ammonia flames, which prevented carbon from participating in soot precursor formation.

Huizhen Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the laminar combustion characteristics of NH3/H-2/air mixtures through experiments and numerical simulations. The results indicate that the hydrogen ratio has a significant influence on the laminar burning velocity under moderate pressure, and the pressure also affects the burning velocity to some extent. The flame morphology demonstrates the presence of instability in NH3-H-2 flames under specific conditions. Furthermore, discrepancies between different reaction mechanisms and experimental results are observed.

Du Wang et al.

Summary: This study compares the effects of NH3 blending on the combustion of different alkanes and finds that NH3 has a significant impact on the burning velocity and burned gas length. Larger alkanes are less affected by NH3 blending, while smaller alkanes are more affected. In addition, the energy fraction of NH3 may be a more suitable criterion for practical engineering applications.

Experimental and kinetic modelling studies of flammability limits of partially dissociated NH 3 and air mixtures

Herry Lesmana et al.

Summary: This study investigates the flammability limits of partially dissociated NH3 in air through experimental and kinetic modeling approaches. The results show that the flammability limits widen significantly with increasing degree of NH3 dissociation, leading to wider ranges compared to pure NH3. The production of key radicals like OH, H, O, and NH2 during combustion is enhanced in the presence of H2, contributing to the wider flammability limits observed near LFL and UFL.

An experimental and modeling study of ammonia with enriched oxygen content and ammonia/hydrogen laminar flame speed at elevated pressure and temperature

Krishna Prasad Shrestha et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the laminar flame speeds of ammonia and ammonia-hydrogen blends under different temperature, pressure, and oxygen content conditions, and developed a new kinetic model for predicting the oxidation mechanisms, considering the formation and reduction of nitrogen oxides. The results showed that the laminar flame speed increases with increasing initial temperature, fuel hydrogen content, or oxidizer oxygen content, but decreases with increasing initial pressure. The proposed kinetic model predicts the same trends as experiments and highlights the importance of N2H2 formation under rich conditions.
