Study on the mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot formation in ethylene/hydrogen/ammonia laminar diffusion flames
Ammonia, as an excellent zero-carbon hydrogen storage energy source, presents a significant research focus in the field of combustion regarding how to achieve efficient and clean combustion. The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen-ammonia addition can enhance ammonia combustion performance, reduce carbon emissions from hydrocarbon fuels, and control soot formation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study uses the CoFlame code to simulate the evolution of soot formation in ethylene/hydrogen/ammonia co-flow laminar diffusion flames and analyzes the mechanisms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons formation and growth influenced by hydrogen-ammonia addition. The study found that the predicted soot volume fraction and average primary particle diameter align well with experimental measurements, indicating that the suppressive effect of hydrogen-ammonia addition increases as the hydrogen/ammonia ratio decreases. The addition of hydrogen-ammonia suppresses the nucleation, surface growth, and agglomeration processes of soot in the ethylene flame. The normalization study indicates that the rates of soot nucleation and surface growth align more closely with the evolution of soot volume fraction, making them the primary contributors to the reduction in soot volume fraction. This is identified as the primary reason for the reduction in soot volume fraction. Reaction pathway analysis indicates that the most significant reaction pathway for the gradual formation of pyrene from A1 under the influence of small molecular components and free radicals in the ethylene/hydrogen/ammonia flame is as follows: A1→indene→indenyl→A2R5→A2→A2−→A3−→A4. Quantitative analysis reveals that the chemical effect of hydrogen-ammonia addition effectively suppresses the hydrogen extraction reaction of A2 by reducing the concentration of hydrogen radicals, thereby decreasing the formation rate of A4.
