Baylor University received a $598,811 CAREER (Careers in Research and Education) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering program) awarded February 1, 2026, with completion targeted for January 31, 2031. The award supports a five-year research initiative combining experimental and theoretical approaches to resolve discrepancies in hydrogen/nitrogen/oxygen (H/N/O) reaction kinetics critical to ammonia combustion as an alternative fuel source. The project delivers three primary research objectives: shock tube experiments with laser absorption spectroscopy to measure multi-species profiles (NO, N2O, NO2, and H2O) and obtain rate constants; ab initio theoretical calculations to validate experimental measurements and identify interfering side reactions; and development of a novel laser absorption diagnostic for measuring the intermediate species HONO, previously unmeasured in shock tube environments. In addition to core research deliverables, the award incorporates a public outreach component through the design and construction of interactive "pop-up" exhibits for children's museums to educate participants on basic chemical kinetics principles. The project explicitly supports no subawards. The research outcomes are intended to generate improved rate constant data applicable to combustion temperatures, enabling more efficient engine design and advancing ammonia fuel utilization to strengthen U.S. energy security.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
