Ammonia Combustion Applications for Energy Systems - (Energy Engineering) (Hardcover)

About the Book

Ammonia is a vector for a future cleaner energy system. It can be used in combustion devices for electricity generation and as fuel for transport. This work covers technology and measurements for combustion devices for power generation and propulsion.

Book Synopsis

Emerging low-emission energy systems will depend on a range of energy vectors or fuels, for electricity, heating, storage and transport. Each has advantages and shortcomings, qualifying it for certain roles and applications. Liquid ammonia offers a higher energy density than liquid hydrogen.

This book covers trends, developments and advances in research around ammonia combustion systems. It is suitable for engineers, researchers and technicians working with ammonia or hydrogen in combustion systems, as well as for advanced students, especially PhD and MSc students in related subjects.

Ammonia Combustion Applications for Energy Systems begins by introducing the current and potential role of ammonia as a fuel. Further chapters address global distribution of ammonia, measurements in ammonia combustion, combustion systems for ammonia-fuelled gas furnaces and boilers, for gas turbines and other propulsion devices, internal combustion engines, economics, regulations and international scenarios, measuring techniques and insights into the ongoing unsolved challenges in using ammonia for fuelling energy systems.
