Abstract:
The rapid depletion of fossil fuels (i.e. petroleum, natural gas) leading the human race to think of some alternative fuels that should be efficient like conventional fuels. Hydrogen or Oxy-hydrogen, produced after the electrolysis of water gives the exact amount of energy even more, to run an IC engine with increase in overall efficiency. In this current paper the study examines the production of hydrogen from water more efficiently, direct injection of hydrogen or oxy-hydrogen into the engine, in-cylinder heat transfer and performance characteristics of hydrogen fuel engine. The experimental setup mainly consists of a two stroke diesel engine test rig coupled to a rope brake dynamometer. The performance of the hydrogen fuel engine is compared with the performance by taking diesel as fuel in the same engine setup. There is no modification done to the engine block for the use of hydrogen fuel. Some cautions are taken to avoid backfire phenomena. The combustion process has water one of the by-products which also decreases the temperature of the combustion process. The final result concludes the notable increase in brake thermal efficiency of about 1% to 5% than that of regular conventional diesel engine.
