Description
Summary:The major threat, the scientific community facing today is global warming and fuel source depletion. Entire world is looking out for low emission fuels. Hydrogen is a promising alternate green fuel. Since fuel hydrogen leads to several issues, hydrogen fuel cell can be added to the engine unit. In this experimental work testing is conducted on a 150cc single cylinder petrol engine. The test is conducted for mixing oxy-hydrogen (HHO) with gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at various engine speeds and measuring performance and emissions. The test outcome shows that both mixtures of hydrogen with gasoline and hydrogen with LPG lead to an effective minimization of fuel consumption and emission. By adopting HHO as supplementary fuel, both fuel consumption and emission are curbed; hence global wanning can be reduced.
