abstract = {The present work deals with an experimental and modeling analysis of the oxidation of ammonia–methane mixtures at high pressure (up to 40 bar) in the 550–1250 K temperature range using a quartz tubular reactor and argon as a diluent. The impact of temperature, pressure, oxygen stoichiometry, and CH4/NH3 ratio has been analyzed on the concentrations of NH3, NO2, N2O, NO, N2, HCN, CH4, CO, and CO2 obtained as main products of the ammonia–methane mixture oxidation. The main results obtained indicate that increasing either the pressure, CH4/NH3 ratio, or stoichiometry results in a shift of NH3 and CH4 conversion to lower temperatures. The effect of pressure is particularly significant in the low range of pressures studied. The main products of ammonia oxidation are N2, NO, and N2O while NO2 concentrations are below the detection limit for all of the conditions considered. The N2O formation is favored by increasing the CH4/NH3 ratio and stoichiometry. The experimental results are simulated and interpreted in terms of an updated detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, which, in general, is able to describe well the conversion of both NH3 and CH4 under almost all of the studied conditions. Nevertheless, some discrepancies are found between the experimental results and model calculations.},

abstract = {An experimental and modeling study of the oxidation at high pressure of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been performed in a quartz tubular flow reactor. Experimental and simulated concentrations of DMC, CO, CO2 and H2 have been obtained for different temperatures (500–1073 K), pressures (20, 40, and 60 atm) and stoichiometries ($łambda$ = 0.7, 1, and 35). Both pressure and concentration of oxygen are important parameters for conversion of DMC. The simulations have been carried out using a detailed kinetic mechanism previously developed by the research group. In general, the model is able to reproduce the experimental trends of the different concentration profiles, although some discrepancies are observed between experimental and simulation results. The performance of the model was also evaluated through the simulation of literature data of the oxidation of DMC at atmospheric pressure in a flow reactor and of the DMC ignition delay times under low and high pressures. In this sense, this work contributes to the knowledge of the combustion process of DMC, by providing new experimental data on the conversion of DMC at high pressures and using a kinetic model for the interpretation of the results.},

abstract = {The interaction between ammonia and NO under combustion conditions is analyzed in the present work, from both experimental and kinetic modelling points of view. An experimental systematic study of the influence of the main variables for the NH3[sbnd]NO interaction is made using a laboratory tubular flow reactor installation. Experiments are performed at atmospheric pressure and variables analyzed include: temperature in the 700–1500 K range, air stoichiometry, from pyrolysis to very oxidizing conditions, and the NH3/NO ratio, in the 0.7–3.5 range. Nitrogen and argon have been used as diluent gas. A literature reaction mechanism has been used to simulate the present experimental results and discuss the main findings. Reaction path analysis has allowed the identification of the reaction routes under the studied conditions. The simulations reflect the main experimental trends observed. Main results show that NO reduction by NH3 occurs at any conditions studied, but is more intense under oxygen excess conditions. Interactions of NH3 and NO proceeds in a molar basis with optimum conversions of NO of up to almost 100%.},
