Integrating Hydrogen Gas into Gasoline Fuel for IC Engines

What is it about?

Abstract.Health and environmental impacts from transportation, industry, and other utility emissions have led to increased interest in alternative fuels. Hydrogen gas, a potential alternative fuel for internal combustion engines, can improve engine performance and reduce fuel consumption and pollutants. Gasoline in one stage and hydrogen (H2) and benzene in the other were used to check the test engine. The hydrogen gas flow was set to 0.1 and 0.2 LPM. At 2,000 and 2,250 rpm, both models were tested at different engine loads (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 Nm) and compression ratios (6:1, 7:1, and 9:1). Initial trials compared pure gasoline to dual fuel. The laboratory has obtained many outstanding test results. At 2,000 rpm, dual fuel reduced carbon monoxide emissions by 15% and 25%, carbon dioxide by 11.7% and 22.4%, and hydrocarbons by 15% and 22%, and increased brake thermal efficiency by 9.5% and 10.6%. Specific fuel consumption decreased by 11.3% and 14.1%, and volumetric efficiency decreased slightly and ranged from 1.9% to 2.6%. While the reduction in carbon monoxide reached 14.2% and 27%, carbon dioxide by 13.5% and 24.5%, hydrocarbons by 16% and 23.1%, brake thermal efficiency by 9.6% and 10.7%, and specific fuel consumption decreased by 11.4% and 14.3%. % and volumetric efficiency reduces slightly and ranges from 2.2% and 2.5% at 2250 rpm, in addition to lower exhaust gas temperatures at each test site. . This has proven that hydrogen gasoline is a cost-effective alternative to pure gasoline without an engine upgrade. This is economically important.

Why is it important?

The findings suggest that a gasoline engine can efficiently function with H2 gas as an additional fuel for all its regular operations without the need for any
