A Study on Working of IC Engine by Using Hydrogen and Petrol as a Fuel

Mechanical engineering,Automobile engineering

In the current study it has been made an attempt to run an Internal Combustion Engine by Hydrogen fuel along with petrol. The electrolysis method reaction of Potassium with pure water will produce hydrogen gas which is directly introduced into combustion chamber of 2 stroke petrol engine along with petrol. Engine runs with 100 ml petrol runs for period 20 minutes 34 seconds, speed 98 rpm at atmospheric conditions. Hydrogen gas with petrol as a fuel the engine runs for period 25 minutes 6 seconds, speed 98 rpm at atmospheric conditions. The other results of engine shows that the mechanical efficiency remains constant, Thermal and overall efficiencies are high as compared to without hydrogen fuel. By Introducing small quantity of Hydrogen in a regular IC engine The Thermal and Overall efficiencies increases and engine will run longer period. The testing of engine is done under no load atmospheric condition.
