Abstract

The demand for fossil fuels is increasing because of globalization and rising energy demands. As a result, many nations are exploring alternative energy sources, and hydrogen is an efficient and practical alternative fuel. In the transportation industry, the development of hydrogen-powered cars aims...

Highlights

-Hydrogen as a renewable energy option can reduce CO, UHC, CO2, and soot emissions in internal combustion engines, with NOx emissions potentially increasing.
-Hydrogen can be used as an auxiliary or secondary fuel to reduce emissions and improve engine efficiency in SI and CI engines.
-Direct injection systems for hydrogen offer the best performance among hydrogen delivery methods, but may introduce issues such as pre-ignition and combustion delay depending on operating conditions.
-Hydrogen’s high flame speed and diffusion characteristics can improve mixing and enable lean-burn operation, influencing volumetric efficiency and thermal performance.
