Enhancing The Ic Engine Performance By Using The Electrolysis And Preheating Process

Abstract

Our present fuel resources are not going to be around forever and with the ever increasing consumption their extinction is nearly unavoidable. Also our fuel resources which are mostly made up of fossil fuels are not renewable in nature. Currently around the world the consumption of fossil fuels is 100,000 times faster than their natural production. According to an estimate the demand for these fuels will suddenly outstrip their availability in a matter of centuries-or less. Also the combustion of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide. This harmful gas when released into the atmosphere makes a huge contribution to the greenhouse effect. This effect prompts the atmosphere to capture and reflect back the energy that radiate from the surface of the earth, instead of letting them to escape back into space. This causes global warming that melts the polar ice caps and affects weather all around the world. This project is discusses about the variability of using H 2 as a fuel along with petroleum. There are many reasons to choose H 2 as a motive power.H 2 has one of the highest gravimetric energy densities of all available fuels, which means it has very high energy content per unit mass (143MJ/kg) 40% more than other. Also we have to preheat the inlet air to get the more efficient for the performance of engine.
