Abstract
The non-adiabatic effect on NOx emission for the swirl premixed NH3/H2/air combustion under fuel-rich/quick-mix/fuel-lean (RQL) conditions was experimentally studied. The wall temperature of the quartz combustor was controlled by surrounding heating. Results showed that both H2-blending and thermal insulation were in favor of enlarging the low-NOx range and lowering the valley NOx, due to the less NO and unburnt NH3, and smaller flow rate from the primary stage. In the post-flame zone of the primary stage, increasing combustion temperature significantly enhanced NO reduction, Thus, for low NOx emission, it is essential to keep enough thermal insulation there. Experimental measurements also found remarkable N2O could be formed in the secondary stage when combustion temperature was low and much unburnt NH3 was excessive. Kinetic analyses showed this phenomenon was due to the high combination rate of NH and NO, and low reduction rate of H radical.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
