Experimental and kinetic study on O2 reduced and enriched premixed ammonia/DME flames
Co-firing ammonia (NH3) with dimethyl ether (DME) offers a promising pathway for utilizing ammonia in compression ignition engines. In this study, the laminar burning velocities (LBV) of NH3/DME flames were measured at a wide range of conditions, with initial temperatures varying from 298 K to 473 K, pressure changing from 1 to 5 bar and equivalence ratio () varying from 0.4 - 2.1. The DME fraction in the fuel was set at 0%, 20%, 40% and 100% and oxygen (O2) fraction in the oxidizers was set at 18%, 21%, 25% and 35% to cover O2 reduced and O2 enriched conditions. The measurements suggest that either adding DME or increasing O2 fraction has almost linear enhancing effect on the LBV of NH3 flames and widens the flammable range of premixed NH3 flames. An optimized NH3/DME is proposed in this study, which can accurately reproduce the measured LBVs from this study and measured ignition delay times (IDT) from our previous study. Kinetic analysis suggests that with 20% DME addition, the LBV is mainly controlled by DME chemistry, whereas O2 variation has marginal effect on the dominating reactions for LBV and reaction path. Sensitivity analysis on IDT implies that with 20% DME addition, the low temperature autoignition chemistry of DME primarily dominates the autoignition process. DME addition has a non-monotonical effect on NO because of a ‘trade-off’ relationship between HNO and the radical pool induced by DME addition, while O2 shows a linear correlation with NO concentration due to linearly boosted flame temperature and radical pool concentration.
