Hydrogen Engines

A comprehensive and authoritative resource for the development of hydrogen-specific internal combustion enginesIn Hydrogen Engines: Design, Performance Evaluation, Combustion Analysis, and Exhaust Emissions, alternative fuels researcher Dr. Lalit Mohan Das delivers detailed guidance on the pros and cons of hydrogen as a fuel. The book cover's hydrogen's performance, emission, combustion, and safety for both spark ignition and compression ignition engines.A comprehensive source of information on the design requirements for hydrogen-specific engines, the book compiles the technical guidelines that can usually only be found in research papers scattered amongst the scientific literature.Hydrogen Engines offers a comparative assessment of hydrogen, petroleum ignition, stratification, and HCCI models of engine operation. Readers will also find: A thorough consideration of the more tempermental properties of hydrogen, including minimum ignition energy, flammability limit, flame speed, and auto-ignition temperature Comprehensive explorations of the modes of utilization of hydrogen in internal combustion engines Practical discussions of Nox formation and exhaust control, lean engine operations, and exhaust gas recirculation Complete explanations of how to mitigate hydrogen's liabilities to develop workable prototypes and real-world vehicles Perfect for researchers in academia and government labs, Hydrogen Engines will also benefit policy makers and engineers working in research and development within the automotive and transportation industries.
