Abstract

Liquid ammonia has been under investigation as a possible substitute of the current carbon-based fuels. However, its thermodynamical properties are responsible for a strong cooling effect of the surrounding environment and peculiar dispersion patterns that can affect the efficiency of a combustor. Through this computational study, it is highlighted how the rapid environmental cooling and change of carrier mixture make ammonia droplets condense, despite the ambient temperature being considerably higher than the saturation one, affecting the jet topology as well.
