Abstract

A novel nitrogen-based fuel consisting of a urea and ammonium nitrate aqueous solution (UAN) has been
previously suggested as a hydrogen carrier that can undergo efficient combustion into N2, H20 and residual CO2,
with minimal NOx emissions. Using CHEMKIN-PRO a new combustion kinetic database is suggested and validated
relative to previous experiments in the pressure range of 1-25 MPa. Excellent agreement was found for nitrogen-
based species at high pressures and for carbon-based products at all pressures. This confirms the suitability of the
new kinetic database for the simulation of high pressure UAN combustion.
