Abstract
ABSTRACT Ammonia/hydrogen blend fuels have been extensively used as alternative fuel for engines. The combustion and emissions characteristics of ammonia/hydrogen engines have been investigated utilising a CFD model. Developing a robust and accurate chemical reaction mechanism for ammonia/hydrogen blend fuels is of utmost importance. In this paper, a chemical mechanism has been developed and validated for the combustion characteristics of ammonia/hydrogen, which includes 31 species and 223 reactions. Extensive validation has been conducted using experimental data as the basis. The obtained data indicate that the simulated values for the ignition delay times of the shock tube and the concentration of the main components in the stirred jet reactor align well with the measured values. The simulated laminar flame speed under turbulent flow conditions shows a remarkable agreement with the corresponding experimental data. The study compared simulated flame evolution values with experimental data from a constant volume combustion bomb. The results indicate that the proposed mechanism is able to produce favourable flame evolution and combustion characteristics. The presented detailed mechanism demonstrates credible overall performance in terms of combustion behaviours, indicating its suitability for effectively modelling ammonia/hydrogen combustion in real engines.
