Abstract:
Ammonia is considered as a promising hydrogen carrier, which is seen as a reliable carbon-free fuel. Improving the combustion properties of ammonia is the focus of current research. The hydrogen could be dissociated from the ammonia in real applications. For purpose of combustion, partially dissociated ammonia could be combusted directly without using extra hydrogen. Laminar burning velocity is an important combustion parameter, but there are only a few data of partially dissociated ammonia are reported. To fill the data gap, the laminar burning velocity was measured at various equivalence ratios and dissociation degrees of ammonia by the constant pressure spherical flame method in this study. Besides, fifteen kinetic models were compared with experimental data, and the model with the best consistency was obtained. The experimental results show that the laminar burning velocity increases monotonically with the increase of the dissociating degree. When ammonia is completely dissociated, the maximum laminar burning velocity increases from 7.9 cm/s to 228 cm/s, and the equivalence ratio corresponding to the peak value also shifts from 1.1 to 1.6. The laminar burning velocity predicted by the model constructed by Stagni is in best agreement with the experimental data. Moreover, data calculated by the five correlations for predicting laminar burning velocity were compared with the numerical data to verify that whether they are suitable for the mixtures with additional nitrogen. The results show that the correlation based on the activation tem- perature is the most accurate. However, it still has a maximum relative error of +/- 20% within the calculated range.
