Abstract:The blend of ammonia (NH3) and dimethyl ether
(DME)
is a promising renewable and clean fuel. This work studies the basic
explosion characteristics of NH3/DME/air with varying equivalence
ratios (from 0.6 to 1.8) and DME fractions (from 0.2 to 1). Three
essential parameters, i.e., explosion pressure (P
max), explosion time (t
c),
and maximum pressure rise rate ((dP/dt)max), were experimentally obtained, and the heat loss
during the explosion was quantitatively analyzed. Besides, the heat
release characteristic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
