Abstract:

Compression–expansion processes have the potential of converting mechanical work to chemical energy at fuel-rich conditions, allowing for the storage of fluctuating renewable energies. In this work, the conversion of methane and natural gas (NG) is investigated for this purpose. A focus is on using ozone as a reaction promoter for the otherwise slow reaction. The kinetics of fuel-rich methane/NG oxidation with ozone addition is investigated experimentally and numerically. To this end, ignition delay times (IDTs) for CH$_4$/O$_2$/O$_3$/Ar and NG/O$_2$/O$_3$/Ar mixtures are measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM). It is shown that a reaction mechanism obtained by simply combining a previously developed mechanism for methane conversion (PolyMech2.0) with an ozone sub-mechanism does not accurately predict IDTs. Sensitivity analyses identify reactions in the methane submechanism that become more important for ignition delay time when ozone is added in comparison to mixtures without O$_3$. The rate coefficients of these reactions are modified within their uncertainty ranges to better match the experimentally obtained IDTs. The resulting kinetic model, named PolyMech 3.0, predicts the IDTs obtained in RCM-experiments well. ... mehr
