主讲人简介：
Prof. Serhiy I. Serbin was born on April 29, 1958, in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. He received the M.S. (Dipl. Mech. Eng.) and Ph.D. (Cand. Sc. Tech.) degrees in mechanical engineering from the Mykolaiv Shipbuilding Institute, Ukraine, in 1981 and 1985, respectively, and the Dipl. D. Sc. Tech. and Dipl. Prof. degrees from the National University of Shipbuilding, Ukraine, in 1999 and 2002, respectively.
Since 1984, he has worked with the Ukrainian State Maritime Technical University as an Assistant Professor, Senior Lecturer, and Associate Professor. Since 1999, he has been working with the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding (NUS) as a Professor of the Turbine Units Department. Since 2009, he has been the Director of the Mechanical Engineering Institute of NUS. His research interests are marine and stationary power plants, gas turbine units, decarbonization systems, fuel cells, plasma-chemical combustion, the techniques of intensifying the processes of hydrocarbon-fuels ignition and combustion in power engineering, and combustion and plasma processes modeling. Dr. Serbin is the Academician of the Academy of Shipbuilding Sciences of Ukraine and the International Academy of Maritime Sciences, Technologies and Innovations.
讲座内容：
This lecture focuses on the pressing issue of ammonia combustion in heat engine combustion chambers. In response to the increasing demand for low-carbon and carbon-neutral energy production methods, ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a promising alternative fuel to conventional hydrocarbons. The possibility of directly burning ammonia in oxygen and air using various combustion intensification methods, including plasma, is considered. The ability of plasma jets to significantly enhance the combustion efficiency of fuels in various combustion devices - specially those operating on lean fuel mixtures - promises improved thermal stress resistance, ignition, and emission characteristics. These benefits present promising opportunities for using plasma to stabilize ammonia combustion in a variety of combustion systems.
