Abstract

Section snippets

Main text

Owing to their high thermal efficiency, unrivaled reliability, and long lifespan, piston internal combustion engines (ICEs) command over 99% of the market as prime movers for international ships and are expected to maintain this dominant role in the foreseeable future. Ammonia has been deemed as one of the most promising alternative fuels in the maritime sector, but its poor combustion characteristics limit its efficient use in engines. Hydrogen-enriched combustion has been demonstrated to be

单氨燃料供应的氨氢发动机

活塞式内燃机（ICEs）凭借其高热效率、无与伦比的可靠性和长寿命，作为国际船舶的原动机，占据了99%以上的市场份额，并有望在可预见的未来保持这一主导地位。氨一直被认为是海事领域最有前途的替代燃料之一，但其不良的燃烧特性限制了其在发动机中的有效使用。感谢国家自然科学基金（52301376）、国家自然科学基金重大国际（地区）联合研究项目（52020105009）、上海市新星计划（帆船专项基金，23YF1419700）、新加坡能源联盟核心项目（SEC-Core2024-19）、新加坡氢创新中心（CHI）第三批资助（CHI- p2024 -07- s1）的支持。作者贡献：概念、方法与调查，X.Z.；写作-原稿，X.Z.；写作-回顾&；编辑，T.L.和W.Y.；资金获取，X.Z， T.L，和W.Y.；利益声明作者声明无利益竞争。周欣怡，现任新加坡国立大学高级研究员。他于2022年初获得上海交通大学博士学位，之后在上海交通大学担任思源博士后，并于2023年1月加入新加坡国立大学。他的研究兴趣是开发替代燃料发动机。本领域的研究成果以第一作者身份在Nature Communications、RSER等期刊发表，其中3篇入选ESI Highly
