This study addresses the challenges in utilizing ammonia as a CO2-free fuel. However, drawbacks of are—low burning speed and nitrogen oxide emissions. To enhance ammonia's flammability atmospheric micro-combustion, hydrogen is blended First, simplified chemical reaction mechanism consisting 44-step reactions 19 species specifically for developed validated using experimental data to reduce computational cost time. Then, we proposed heat-recirculating micro-combustor fueled by premixed hydrogen/ammonia/air. Five key parameters are identical numerically studying thermal performance, entropy generation, NO The present findings confirm that higher inlet velocity boosts performance (power output achieving 15.8 W at 7 m/s) emissions peak 3 m/s (0.0169). Unity equivalence ratio optimizes rich-fuel combustion reduces At stoichiometric ratio, power 8.34 W, with highest 0.9 (0.168). Hydrogen blending has small effect on (8.5 ξm = 0.7, 0.51 above 0.4), but effectively (ξm 0.7 around 30 % lower than 0.4). Furthermore, changing material from steel Corundum enhances approximately 6 %, while longer heat recirculation improves performance.

Increasing pressure Pin improves exergy efficiency while reducing emissions. velocity Vin can enhance temperature uniformity wall. It also found ammonia combustion convection heat transfer optimized, when = 1.25 m/s. equivalence ratio Φ leads to reduction emissions, has better overall performance, 1.0. Finally, blending ration hydrogen with Φb give rise decayed advection but diffusion, loss (Ploss) be reduced. This confirms viability employing structure thermodynamic performances from micro-combustion systems.

To enhance ammonia's flammability, blending methane with ammonia is a viable strategy to improve the laminar burning velocity of combustion. We conducted three-dimensional numerical simulations investigate thermal performance, 2nd thermodynamic law efficiency, and NO emissions micro-combustor fuelled by ammonia/methane. Three key parameters are identified examined. They include: 1) inlet volume flow rate, 2) CH4 mole blended ratio, 3) N2 dilution rate. It found that increasing rate give rise an increase combustor outer wall temperature, so second-law but reduction emissions. For example, when set 14.4 mL/s, temperature efficiency increased 36 % 21 respectively, emission reduced 15 %, in comparison those presence 7.2 mL/s flow. While ratio (molar fraction) shown have limited impact on performances. This variation such be associated notable 22 Additionally, injecting as gas not beneficial performance. However, reduced.

Soot has harmful effects on the environment and human health. The formation process of soot includes six steps: fuel pyrolysis, nucleation, coalescence, surface growth, aggregation, oxidation. However, is very complex influenced by factors such as type, combustion conditions, environmental temperature. Oxygenated fuels additives have a positive effect reducing emissions, but recent studies shown that oxygenated can lead to an increase in number small particles soot. In this paper, alcohol, ether, esters emissions discussed terms mechanism formation. Subsequently, role after-treatment systems summarized. This work update our understanding impact emissions.
