Aalto University’s Research on Ammonia-Hydrogen Flames

The Hi-EFECTS Project Coordinator, Aalto University, has published new research on how ammonia, hydrogen, and air flames behave near a wall. Key findings include:

- Increasing hydrogen content shortens the quenching distance but increases heat transfer.

- Critical reactions influence nitrogen compound formation and heat release patterns.

These insights contribute to optimizing ammonia-hydrogen combustion systems for cleaner, more efficient energy applications.

At Aalto University in Finland, Professor Ossi Kaario and his research team are actively working on WP1 of the Hi-EFECTS project, which focuses on the experimental development of a fuel-adaptive compression ignition engine concept for ammonia and methanol fuels. Additionally, the team is contributing to WP2, advancing modeling techniques to adapt these alternative fuels for marine engines.
