Experimental Performance of SI Engine Supplied with Blend of Brown Gas (HHO) and Gasoline Fuel at 2500 rpm

Mechanical Engineering

Today, the whole world is facing two major problems, one is increasing pollution and rapid use of fossil fuels. So there is a need to control pollution and reduce fuel consumption. Incomplete combustion of fuel causes pollution and reduction in fuel utilization. We are looking for such source of energy which helps for complete combustion of fuel and increases fuel utilization which ultimately reduces the pollution. In order to overcome the drawbacks of the regular petroleum fuel, it is the need of time to completely or partially replace the petroleum fuel. But alternative options to petroleum fuel are having disadvantages. An electric or compressed air driven cars cannot be used where high torque is required or using hydrogen as fuel requires very costly storage equipment’s. In this project work an attempt has been made to reduce the drawbacks of petroleum fuels. Electrolysis of water can give us hydrogen in form of brown gas which can be used as an alternative fuel for any internal combustion engine. This project work discusses methods designed for the production of Brown gas. All together it has been observed that the blend of ‘brown gas’ and gasoline instead of only conventional fuel improves the performance of the engine.
