The effect of gaseous ammonia direct injection on the engine performance and exhaust emissions in gasoline-ammonia dual fueled spark-ignition engine was investigated in this study. Results show that based on the gasoline contribution engine power increases as the ammonia injection timing and duration is advanced and increased, respectively. However, as the initial amount of gasoline is increased the maximum power output contribution from ammonia is reduced. For gasoline-ammonia, the appropriate injection timing is found to range from 320 BTDC at low loads to 370 BTDC at high loads and the peak pressures are slightly lower than that for gasoline due to the slow flame speed of ammonia, resulting in the reduction of combustion efficiency. The brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) for gasoline-ammonia has little difference compared to the BSEC for gasoline only. Ammonia direct injection causes slight reduction of $CO_2$ and CO for all presented loads but significantly increases HC due to the low combustion efficiency of ammonia. Also, ammonia direct injection results in both increased ammonia and NOx in the exhaust due to formation of fuel NOx and ammonia slip.

발전설비에서의 질소산화물 배출 규제치가 강화됨에 따라 1990년대에 설치된 HRSG도 탈질설비를 추가로 설치해야 하는 상황이 되었다. 그러나 HRSG 내부에 촉매와 암모니아 분사장치 모두를 설치할 수 있는 공간이 없기 때문에 그 대안으로써 HRSG 내부에는 촉매만 설치하고 암모니아 분사장치는 가스터빈 배기덕트로 변동하여 설치하는 것을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 인천복합발전소를 대상으로, 암모니아 분사장치를 HRSG 중압 과열기 후단과 가스터빈 배기덕트에 설치하여 암모니아를 분사였을 때 대기 배출기준 8.5 ppm을 만족하는 암모니아 소비량을 각각 측정하였다. 연구결과 가스터빈 배기덕트 암모니아 분사방식이 HRSG 중압 과열기 후단 분사방식에 비해 소비량이 1.2배 정도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 HRSG 수명 30년 운영을 고려한다면 HRSG 내부에 암모니아 분사장치를 설치할 수 없는 경우 가스터빈 배기덕트에 암모니아 분사장치를 설치하는 것이 추천된다.

A Study on the optimal design of the AIG(Ammonia Injection Grid) to improve the performance of DeNOx facilities in the HRSG(Heat Recovery Steam Generator) was performed using the CFD analysis. On the basis of the flow analysis results in the case that the AIG in the HRSG was not installed, the numerical analyses according to the positions of AIG, injection angles of nozzle and the control of ammonia injection quantity were carried out. The standard deviation according to factors was calculated for quantitative comparison. As the results, the AIG in the HRSG should be installed in the position that the uniform flow field shows through the exact flow analysis in the previous of the AIG design and installation. In the case the AIG has already been installed and non uniform flow distribution shows, it is recommended that flow correction device or KoNOx catalyst should be used. Otherwise, the control of ammonia injection angle or the ammonia injection quantity using the velocity profile analysis is demanded to accomplish the optimal performance.

석탄 화력발전소 등의 대형 연소기기에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위해 선택적 촉매환원 방법(SCR)의 탈질설비가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SCR 탈질설비에서 암모니아를 공급하는 암모니아 분사 그리드(AIG)에 있는 암모니아와 희석 공기 혼합기에서 암모니아와 희석 공기의 균일한 혼합에 적합한 최적의 혼합기 형상을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 전산유체해석을 통해 수행하였다. 이를 위해 기본 형상의 혼합기(Case 1)에서 유동 특성과 $NH_3$ 농도 분포 특성을 살펴보았다. 기본 형상의 혼합기에서는 희석 공기 주 배관에서 암모니아 주입 배관 입구 반대쪽의 벽면으로 $NH_3$ 분포가 치우치는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위해 암모니아 주입 배관의 상단 구멍 1 개와 측면 구멍 4개를 막은 경우(Case 2)와 암모니아 주입 배관의 상단에 수평 평판을 설치한 경우(Case 3), 수평 평판과 함께 원호 평판을 설치 한 경우(Case 4)의 혼합기 형상에 대하여 유동과 $NH_3$ 농도 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 암모니아 주입 배관 상단에 수평 평판과 원호 평판을 설치한 경우(Case 4)에 혼합기 출구에서 $NH_3$ 분포의 % RMS 값이 가장 작은 값인 4.92%이고 농도 비율($R_{NH3}$) 범위가 -10.82~8.34%로 가장 최적의 $NH_3$ 균일 분포임을 알 수 있었다.

CFD(computational fluid dynamics) model is developed to simulate direct injection of ammonia gas phase from ammonia transporting materials into the SCR catalyst in the exhaust pipe of the engine with solid SCR. Configurations of one-hole and four-hole nozzle, circumferential type, porous tube type, and the effect of mixer configurations which commonly used in liquid injection of AdBlue are considered for complex geometries. Mal-distribution index related to concentration of ammonia gas, flow uniformity index related to velocity distribution, and pressure drop related to flow resistance are compared for different configurations of complex geometries at the front section of SCR catalyst. These results are used to design the injection system of ammonia gas phase for solid SCR of target vehicle.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of injection application of pig slurry on ammonia ($NH_3$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission from timothy (Phleum pretense L.) sward. The three treatments were applied: 1) only water as a control, 2) pig slurry application by broadcasting, 3) pig slurry application by injection. The pig slurry was applied at a rate of $200kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$. Total $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ emission, expressed as a cumulative amount throughout the measurement time (40 days), was $2.68kg\;NH_3-N\;ha^{-1}$ and $6.58g\;N_2O-N\;ha^{-1}$, respectively, in the control. The injection application of pig slurry decreased total $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ emission by 39.8% and 33.3%, respectively, compared to broadcasting application of pig slurry. The present study clearly showed that injection application exhibited positive roles in reducing N losses through $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ emission.

In the past few years, considerable efforts have been directed towards the further development of Urea-SCR(selective catalytic reduction) technique for diesel-driven vehicle. Although urea possesses considerable advantages over Ammonia$(NH_3)$ in terms of toxicity and handling, its necessary decomposition into Ammonia and carbon dioxide complicates the DeNOx process. Moreover, a mobile SCR system has only a short distance between engine exhaust and the catalyst entrance. Hence, this leads to not enough residence times of urea, and therefore evaporation and thermolysis cannot be completed at the catalyst entrance. This may cause high secondary emissions of Ammonia and isocyanic acid from the reducing agent and also leads to the fact that a considerable section of the catalyst may be misused for the purely thermal steps of water evaporation and thermolysis of urea. Hence the key factor to implementation of SCR technology on automobile is fast thermolysis, good mixing of Ammonia and gas, and reducing Ammonia slip. In this context, this study performs three-dimensional numerical simulation of urea injection of heavy-duty diesel engine under various injection pressure, injector locations and number of injector hole. This study employs Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to consider break-up, evaporation and heat and mass-transfer between droplet and exhaust gas with considering thermolysis and the turbulence dispersion effect of droplet. The SCR-monolith brick has been treated as porous medium. The effect of location and number of hole of urea injector on the uniformity of Ammonia concentration distribution and the amount of water at the entrance of SCR-monolith has been examined in detail under various injection pressures. The present results show useful guidelines for the optimum design of urea injector for reducing Ammonia slip and improving DeNOx performance.

An ammonia fuel system is developed and applied to both a spark ignition engine and a compression ignition engine to use ammonia as primary fuel in this study. Ammonia is injected separately into the intake manifold in liquid phase while gasoline or diesel is also injected as secondary fuel. As ammonia burns 1/6 time slower than gasoline or diesel, the spark or diesel injection timing is needed to be advanced to have better combustion phasing. The test engine showed quite high variation in the power output with large amount of ammonia. The final goal of the study is to implement a methodology to ignite ammonia-air mixture and have complete combustion without any use of the conventional fuels.

A SCR catalytic filter system is used for reducing $NO_x$ and soot emissions simultaneously from diesel combustors. The amount of ammonia (as a reducing agent) must be controlled with the amount of $NO_x$ to obtain an optimal $NO_x$ conversion. Hence, gas mixing between ammonia and exhaust gases is vital to ensure that the SCR catalyst is optimally used. If ammonia mass distribution is not uniform, slip potential will occur in rich concentration areas. At lean areas, on the other hand, the catalyst is not fully active. The better mixing is indicated by the higher uniformity of ammonia mass distribution which is necessary to be considered in SCR catalytic filter system. The ammonia mass distributions are depended on the flow field of fluids. In this study, the velocity field of gaseous flow is investigated to characterize the transport of ammonia in SCR catalytic filter system. The influence of different injection placements on the ammonia mass distribution is also discussed. The results show that the ammonia mass distribution is more uniform for the injector directed radially perpendicular to the main flow of inlet at the gravitational direction than that at the side wall for both laminar (Re = 640) and turbulent flows (Re = 4255). It is also found that the mixing index decreases as increasing the heating temperature in the case of ammonia injected at the side wall.
