Plasma assisted ammonia combustion: Simultaneous NOx reduction and flame enhancement

چکیده
This work reports that plasma can simultaneously reduce NOx emission and extend the lean blowoff limits of ammonia flames. The results show dramatic differences from similar using hydrocarbon fuels in which promoted emission. Therefore, this could lay foundation application practical combustion.

Flame Stabilization Enhancement and NOx Production using Ultra Short Repetitively Pulsed Plasma Discharges
This paper examines the use of plasma discharges in flame stabilization. Three different types of plasma discharges are applied to a lifted jet diffusion flame in a coflow configuration, and evaluated for their abilities to enhance flame stabilization. A single electrode corona discharge (SECD) between a platinum electrode and the flame base is found to maintain the flame at a 20% higher coflow...
متن کاملPlasma-assisted combustion*
This paper presents an overview of experimental and numerical investigations of the nonequilibrium cold plasma generated under high overvoltage and further usage of this plasma for plasma-assisted combustion. Here, two different types of the discharge are considered: a streamer under high pressure and the so-called fast ionization wave (FIW) at low pressure. The comprehensive experimental inves...
متن کاملEnhancement of Combustion and Flame Stabilization Using Stabilized Non-Equilibrium Plasma
The effect of a stabilized non-equilibrium gliding arc plasma discharge on the stabilization and extinction of nitrogen diluted, methane/air counterflow diffusion flames was investigated both experimentally and numerically. To quantify the effect, extinction limits and flame temperature profiles via Rayleigh scattering were measured, calculated and compared to numerical simulations using detail...
متن کاملPhysics and chemistry of plasma-assisted combustion.
There are several mechanisms that affect a gas when using discharge plasma to initiate combustion or to stabilize a flame. There are two thermal mechanisms-the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heating of the gas due to 'hot' atom thermalization and vibrational and electronic energy relaxation. The homogeneous heating causes the acceleration of the chemical reactions. The inhomogeneous heating gene...
متن کاملLow NOx Combustion Technology for Minimizing NOx
A noble low NOx combustion technology, based on partial oxidation combustion concept in a fuel rich combustion zone, is successfully applied in this research. The burner is designed such that a portion of fuel is heated and pre-vaporized in the furnace then injected into a fuel rich combustion zone so that a partial oxidation reaction occurs. The effects of equivalence ratio, thermal load, and ...
