The University of Alabama in Huntsville received a $599,927 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031. The research project will deliver experimental research and X-ray diagnostic analysis to investigate the influence of ammonia-based additives—specifically ammonia borane—on multiphase detonation performance of renewable fuels such as ethanol and methanol. Key research products include quantified rate-limiting timescales for secondary atomization and vaporization processes, experimental data on droplet interactions with traveling detonation waves, and assessments of how ammonia borane additives enhance overall combustion efficiency of renewable fuels for power generation and transportation applications. In addition to the research deliverables, the grant includes significant educational and outreach components. The research team will partner with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama to develop Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education programs targeting rural K-12 communities and the general public. The university will also integrate interactive demonstrations into the University of Alabama in Huntsville laboratory curriculum to support workforce development in advanced combustion and renewable energy technologies. These combined research and educational outcomes are expected to contribute to establishing renewable fuels' role in U.S. energy self-sufficiency while building broader public understanding of detonation-based combustion processes.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
