This Final Report documents the entire four years of the project, from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2017. This project was concerned with the chemical kinetics of fuel blends with high-hydrogen content in the presence of impurities. Emphasis was also on the design and construction of a new, high-pressure turbulent flame speed facility and the use of ignition delay times and flame speeds to elucidate the diluent and impurity effects on the fuel chemistry at gas turbine engine conditions and to also validate the chemical kinetics models. The project was divided into five primary tasks: 1) Project Management and Program Planning; 2) Turbulent Flame Speed Measurements at Atmospheric Pressure; 3) Experiments and Kinetics of Syngas Blends with Impurities; 4) Design and Construction of a High-Pressure Turbulent Flame Speed Facility; and 5) High-Pressure Turbulent Flame Speed Measurements. Details on the execution and results of each of these tasks are provided in the main report.
