A series of environmental and energy issues today has forced humans to find clean alternative fuels to replace traditional fossil fuels. As a carbon-free fuel, ammonia has the advantages of high energy density, low cost and high safety. In recent years, it has attracted more and more scholars' attention and become a research hotspot. This review introduces the physicochemical properties and combustion characteristics of ammonia fuel. The combustion characteristics of ammonia/various fuels are also discussed in detail, such as burning speed, flame structure, pollutant formation, etc. The application of ammonia in engines and the combustion mechanism are summarized. The problems to be further studied are pointed out and the development direction of the ammonia combustion research is prospected.
- Ammonia fuel,
- Combustion,
