The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $353,414 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Brown University. The 3-year award, effective September 1, 2024, will support research to measure the transient concentration of nitrogen oxide species during ammonia combustion. The goal is to improve the accuracy of predictions for nitrogen oxide emissions, which are critical for mitigating the environmental and health impacts of ammonia as a potential carbon-neutral fuel. The project will use tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy to characterize the branching fractions of key reactions during ammonia oxidation. This data will serve to validate a kinetic model for ammonia combustion, benefiting both the engineering community and broader atmospheric science research on nitrogen oxide formation. No sub-awards are planned under this NSF grant to Brown University.
