Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the formation of contrails from ammonia-powered engines compared to traditional jet fuel engines, focusing on thermodynamic processes like supersaturation and ice nucleation.
- It calculates how moisture from exhaust affects atmospheric conditions, determining the potential for contrail visibility based on temperature and humidity changes.
- Findings suggest that ammonia contrails are less dense but can form at lower altitudes and last longer due to higher moisture content, despite not producing soot which typically aids contrail formation.
