Project Details
Description
Abstract:
This project aims to develop and validate a computer-based model for burning ammonia, with the goal of reducing harmful emissions and improving combustion stability and efficiency. To achieve this, advanced simulations (using computational fluid dynamics and simplified reaction mechanisms) will be carried out to conduct virtual testing and thereby gain an understanding of how ammonia burns on its own or together with carbon fuels. Real-life experiments will also be conducted at an industrial scale to validate the model and test discoveries made through the research. Ultimately, this research will help create cleaner and more efficient ship-burner designs, lower emissions in the shipping industry and advance computer-based modelling capabilities.
Funding: Funded by Alfa Laval Aalborg A/S and the Innovation Fund.
