Ammonia has received significant attention as a fuel due to its carbon-free molecular structure. However, burning ammonia is challenging because of its low laminar burning velocity. To promote the combustion velocity, the authors propose a constant volume combustion chamber with a sub-chamber. This study investigated the effects of the mixing time and equivalence ratio of the ammonia/oxygen/argon mixture on combustion. The mean velocity of the ejection from the sub-chamber can be calculated by evaluating the combustion pressure, mass fraction burned, and volume fraction burned. It was clarified that with the sub-chamber structure, the ejection from the sub-chamber improved the compression and turbulence of unburned gas in the main chamber and increased the mean flame velocity of ammonia combustion. The appropriate glow plug temperature could improve the ignitability of the fuel mixture, leading to increased combustion efficiency, maximum combustion pressure, and reduced combustion time.
