Carbon neutrality with ammonia: An analysis of its feasibility as a fuel for diesel engines fuelled with spirulina microalgae and oxygenated additives

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Ammonia has emerged as a promising gaseous fuel for replacing conventional fossil fuels and achieving carbon neutrality. This research explores the viability of using ammonia as a fuel in compression ignition diesel engines operating in dual-fuel mode. The study investigates the performance and emission characteristics of diesel engines fueled with ammonia, microalgae-based biodiesel, and their combinations, with the addition of Fe2O3 nanoparticles to enhance combustion efficiency. A series of experiments were conducted using various blends of ammonia, biodiesel, and nanoparticles in a single-cylinder engine. The objective was to assess the impact of ammonia and biodiesel on thermal efficiency and carbon-based emissions. Comparative analysis revealed that ammonia-based fuels exhibited higher brake thermal efficiency and lower carbon emissions compared to traditional diesel fuel. The combination of ammonia, biodiesel, and nanoparticles resulted in an 8.5% increase in thermal efficiency compared to diesel fuel. However, the fuel consumption increased by 18% due to the lower energy density and higher viscosity of the biodiesel blends. Furthermore, the study examined the emissions profile of the tested fuels. The use of ammonia and nanoparticles led to significant reductions in carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and smoke emissions. However, there was a slight increase in nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide emissions, regardless of engine loading conditions. It was observed that the emission of NOx was influenced by combustion delay and autoignition temperature. To mitigate NOx emissions, optimizing the combustion delay and avoiding premixed combustion phases are crucial. Based on the findings, the study concludes that ammonia has the potential to serve as a viable substitute for diesel fuel in engines. Ammonia-based fuels exhibit higher brake thermal efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Future research should focus on optimizing combustion parameters to minimize NOx emissions, thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of ammonia in diesel engines and contributing to the decarbonization of the transportation sector.
