Ammonia is a promising zero-carbon fuel for industrial and transport applications, but its combustion is hindered by flame instabilities, incomplete oxidation, and the formation of nitrogen oxides. Accurate and detailed kinetic models are…
In the transportation sector, ammonia used as a power source plays a significant role in the scenario of carbon neutralization. However, the engine-out emissions correlations of ammonia-diesel dual-fuel (DF) engines are still unclear,…
Significant efforts have been committed to understanding the fundamental combustion chemistry of ammonia at high-pressure and low-temperature conditions with or without blending with other fuels, as these are promising to improve ammonia…
Ammonia, key precursor for fertilizer production, convenient hydrogen carrier and emerging clean fuel, plays a pivotal role in sustaining life on earth. Currently, the main route for NH3 synthesis is via the heterogeneous catalytic…
The nitrogen (N2) reduction reaction (NRR) is an eco-friendly alternative to the Haber-Bosch process to produce ammonia (NH3) with high sustainability. However, the significant magnitude of uphill energies in the multi-step NRR pathways is…
The necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has prompted the search for carbon-free fuel alternatives. One such carbon-free fuel source that can be used for power generation in a gas turbine-based system is ammonia. Ammonia combustion…
Ammonia (NH3) in a terrestrial planet atmosphere is generally a good biosignature gas, primarily because terrestrial planets have no significant known abiotic NH3 source. The conditions required for NH3 to accumulate in the atmosphere are,…
Ammonia, known as a good hydrogen carrier, shows great potential for use as a zero-carbon fuel for vehicles. However, both the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the currently available…
An adequate understanding of NOx interacting chemistry is a prerequisite for a smoother transition to carbon lean and carbon free fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen. In this regard, this study presents a comprehensive study on the H atom…
Exploring the impact of alcohol additives on combustion and pyrolysis of ammonia/methane is of great importance in the pursuit of sustainable energy technologies. This work employs Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics (MD)…
Nanocarbons are an important class of energy materials and one relevant application is for the nitrogen reduction reaction, i.e., the direct synthesis of NH3 from N2 and H2O via photo- and electrocatalytic approaches. Ammonia is also a…
The objective of the LES simulation is to investigate how operational parameters affect flame properties in combustion of the premixed NH3/H2/air inside a swirling burner. Key parameters explored include the differential blend ratio of…
A major motivation of spectroscopic observations of giant exoplanets is to unveil planet formation processes from atmospheric compositions. Several recent studies suggested that atmospheric nitrogen, like carbon and oxygen, can provide…
Atmospheric nitrogen may provide important constraints on giant planet formation. Following our semi-analytical work (Ohno & Fortney 2022), we further pursue the relation between observable NH3 and an atmosphere's bulk nitrogen abundance by…
Integrating renewable generation, hydrogen production, and renewable ammonia (RA) synthesis into power-to-ammonia (P2A) systems creates interactions across electricity and hydrogen markets. Limited operational flexibility, however, places…
The development of ammonia-methane (NH3-CH4) combustion as a hydrogen-carrier energy source faces major challenges such as significant NOx emissions, hindering its practical implementation. This paper examines how ethanol (C2H6O) and…
Neutronic performance is investigated for a potential accident tolerant fuel (ATF),which consists of U$_3$Si$_2$ fuel and FeCrAl cladding. In comparison with current UO$_2$-Zr system, FeCrAl has a better oxidation resistance but a larger…
Nanostructured solid boron-hydrogen compounds have been suggested as target and fuel for laser fusion, offering improved laser-plasma coupling, avoiding cryogenic fuel handling and fuel pre-compression and ultimately allowing a transit from…
The reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted into the earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, has obviously become a priority. Replacing fossil fuels with cleaner renewable fuels (such as ammonia) in internal combustion engines for…
Ammonia is one of the most widely observed molecules in space, and many observations are able to resolve the hyperfine structure due to the electric quadrupole moment of the nitrogen nucleus. The observed spectra often display anomalies in…
