ABSTRACT
The formation of soot and NOx in ammonia/ethylene flames with varying ammonia ratios was investigated through experimental and numerical analysis. The spatial distribution of the soot volume fraction and NOx concentrations along the flame central line were measured, and the mechanism of soot and NOx formation during ammonia/ethylene co-combustion was analyzed using CHEMKIN 17.0. The experimental results indicated that the soot volume fraction decreases with an increase in ammonia ratio, with the soot peak concentration occurring in the upper region of the flame. The distribution of NOx is complex. In the initial part of the flame, a higher concentration of NOx is generated, and the lower the ammonia ratio, the higher the concentration of NOx. As the combustion process progresses, the concentration of NOx initially decreases and then subsequently increases rapidly, with higher ammonia ratios leading to higher concentrations of NOx. The addition of ammonia results in a decrease in CH3, C2H2, and C3H3, and an increase in CN concentration. This leads to a transformation of carbon atoms within the combustion system, reducing the available carbon for soot formation and suppressing its generation. A higher ammonia ratio increases the likelihood that NH3 will be oxidized to N2, as well as increasing the probability that any generated NO will undergo reduction to N2 through the action of the free radicals NH2 and NH.
