I am focusing my research on leveraging MILD combustion to achieve net-zero emissions through the use of ammonia combustion for power generation and gas turbine applications. In detail, the research primarily focuses on gaining a comprehensive understanding of MILD combustion using methane and hydrogen fuels. Subsequently, I am conducting experimental analyses to investigate the stability of ammonia flames and to attain MILD combustion with ammonia flames. Finally, I plan to subject ammonia flames to testing under moderate pressure conditions, reaching pressures of up to 4 bar.
