Summary
Ammonia is a chemical consisting of nitrogen and hydrogen, and it has been proposed for widespread use as a combustion fuel. To manage ammonia combustion efficiently and to avoid the formation of nitrogen oxides, a class of pollutants, the reaction rates for systems involving hydrogen, nitrogen, and/or oxygen (H/N/O) must be well understood. Despite decades of progress, discoveries are still being made, and surprising discrepancies persist in understanding H/N/O reaction rates. This project will combine experimental and theoretical techniques to address these discrepancies. The scientific kn
