Study on spray combustion characteristics of liquid ammonia/dimethyl ether dual fuel based on different injection strategies
2025
Overview
Ammonia is a green zero-carbon fuel, yet its low reactivity poses challenges, including difficult ignition and slow combustion rates. Compared to diesel or biodiesel, dimethyl ether (DME) has no C-C bonds, which means it produces almost no soot and has a high cetane number that helps it ignite easily. So, using the highly reactive DME to help ignite liquid ammonia is a good way to make it burn better. This study uses computer simulations to look at how well liquid ammonia and DME work together as fuel with different injection setups. Results indicate optimal DME ignition enhancement at injector spacing L = 6 cm, injection angle 180°, and ammonia energy share 70%, outperforming cases with spacings of 7–8 cm and angles of 150°, 120°, 90°, and 60°. At the same time, having shorter spacing during DME combustion leads to smaller areas for OH but more NH₂ formation, showing that ammonia is more effective at cooling the flame and that more ammonia is being used as fuel. Additionally, when DME is not burning, both OH and NH₂ areas grow larger at shorter spacings, showing that the fuel mixes sooner, the reaction areas get bigger, and the burning process is more complete. Regarding the bimodal NH₂ peaks, the initial peak reflects partial ammonia oxidation that is flame-entrained during DME combustion, while the secondary peak indicates the onset of autoignition, which is characterized by diminished reaction rates and reduced combustion intensity.
