TL;DR: Ammonia has been considered as a candidate to power transport, produce energy, and support heating applications for decades, however, the particular characteristics of the molecule always made it a chemical with low, if any, benefit once compared to conventional fossil fuels as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the ammonia/hydrogen ratio in the fuel mixture and the equivalence ratio of NH3/O2 mixtures in a rapid compression machine at pressures from 20 to 60 bar, temperatures from 950 to 1150 K, and equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the combustion characteristics of NH3/air and the formation of pollutants, especially NOx and unburned NH3, at intermediate temperatures, and reported the ignition delay times of NH 3/air mixtures over a temperature range of 1100-1600 K, pressures of 20 and 40 bar, and equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the ignition delay times of NH3/CH4/O2 mixtures diluted in Ar or Ar/N2 over a temperature range of 900-1100 K, pressures of 20 and 40 bar, and equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0.

TL;DR: In this article, the rate constants of unimolecular reactions of ethoxyethylperoxy radicals, which are main intermediates in the oxidation of DEE under the engine relevant conditions, have been computationally investigated and compared with those of alkanes.
