Ammonia (NH 3) can be used as carbon-free alternative fuel for modern energy and
transportation systems. Co-firing NH 3 with syngas can overcome the high ignition energy
and low burning velocities of pure NH 3 flames on the one hand, while regarding the
characteristics of syngas on the other hand, this strategy may have low-emission potential in
real application, and a corresponding research can be helpful for validating or developing
NH 3 co-firing mechanisms with more complex fuels. The present study experimentally …

Ammonia (NH 3) is a promising energy carrier to store and transport renewable hydrogen (H
2) that can be generated using, eg, wind and solar energy. Direct combustion of NH 3 is one
of the possible methods to utilize the energy by the end users. To understand the
combustion characteristics of NH 3 as a fuel, the laminar burning velocities of NH 3/air, NH
3/H 2/air, NH 3/CO/air and NH 3/CH 4/air premixed flames were investigated experimentally
using the heat flux method. Measurements are reported for a wide range of equivalence …
