Boosting the NOx production in microwave air plasma: A synergy of chemistry and vibrational kinetics
This study employs a quasi-1.5D multi-temperature model to investigate the mechanisms governing NOx production and energy costs in microwave plasma reactors operating at 80 mbar, focusing on the interplay of vibrational, chemical and electron kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport processes across the discharge and afterglow. In the plasma discharge zone, non-thermal processes enhance NOx production as electrons transfer energy effectively to the vibrational mode of N2. However, the non-therma…

The nox-minima dome: a tangible alternative to flat star maps for astronomy education
This article introduces nox-minima, a low-cost, three-dimensional paper dome that provides an alternative representation of the sky for astronomy education. Generated from precise astronomical data, the dome provides accurate local sky views for any date and location. Its assembly is simple, and the design is freely available at nox-minima.net/en . Initial workshops with students and teachers confirm its effectiveness as a hands-on tool to explore the celestial sphere and cultural perspectives …

Impact of Ethanol and Methanol on NOx Emissions in Ammonia-Methane Combustion: ReaxFF Simulations and ML-Based Extrapolation
The development of ammonia-methane (NH3-CH4) combustion as a hydrogen-carrier energy source faces major challenges such as significant NOx emissions, hindering its practical implementation. This paper examines how ethanol (C2H6O) and methanol (CH4O) additives influence formation pathways of NOx using ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at temperatures of 2,000 K and 3,000 K. Ten carefully designed fuel mixtures (C1-C10) were evaluated across 0%, 5%, and 10% alcohol concentrations. The fi…

Using Model Predictive Control To Reduce Traffic Emissions on Urban Freeways
Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts regional air quality and contributes substantially to pollutant emissions. Suburban freeway corridors are a major source of traffic-related emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework aimed at emission reduction on peripheral freeway corridors. Emission rates on freeways exhibit high sensitivity to speed fluctuations and congestion recovery processes. To addr…

Alcohol additives to enhance ammonia-methane combustion efficiency and reduce emissions: A reactive force field analysis
Exploring the impact of alcohol additives on combustion and pyrolysis of ammonia/methane is of great importance in the pursuit of sustainable energy technologies. This work employs Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the underlying mechanism of how ethanol and methanol additives affect reaction pathways, NOx emissions and bond energy characteristics in ammonia-methane pyrolysis and combustion processes. It shows that adding alcohols altered NOx forma…
