Abstract
This study measures the laminar burning velocity (SL) of NH3/O2/N2 flames with different O2 enrichment coefficient (Ω) by the constant volume combustion bomb. The flame instability is quantitatively analyzed by linear stability theory, and the effect of Ω on NO formation is analyzed by the mole fraction and production rate. Results indicate that the growth rate of SL with the increase of Ω is relatively slow at rich burn. Linear stability analysis reveals that hydrodynamic instability persistently affects flame stability with increasing Ω or equivalence ratio, whereas thermal diffusion instability exerts a significant positive effect, which makes the growth rate of disturbance (∑) gradually decrease. The growth rate of NO mole fraction with Ω at lean burn is obviously higher than that at rich burn. Reaction path analysis indicates that O2 enrichment enhances the importance of the NH2 → NH → N → N2 pathway.
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.
