CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW AND METHODOLOGY 1.1 Introduction This chapter provides a discussion of literature sources related to the performance ofinternal combustion engines. It will also describe different sources which are used for the reviewpurpose. Further the chapter will also include the critical discussion of literature sources. Thechapter also consist of project methodology used for accomplishment of the project. The lastsection of the chapter will be conclusion. The conclusion provides summary of the key findingsand issues obtained from the discussion and the chapter. 1.2 Literature sources For completion of this section of the study different journals and articles have beenreviewed. The literature sources are searched from the search engines with specific keywordssuch as performance of combustion engine, alternative fuel sources and comparison of hydrogenbased combustion engines. The literature sources which are reviewed in this chapter havecommon structure and consist of various segments such as abstract, discussion and results. Thesegmented structure of the literature sources has helped to effectively analyse all sources andtheir key findings. 1.3 Literature review According to () hydrogen is one of the best alternative source of fossil fuel which can beused to power the internal combustion (IC) engines. As compare to the other fuels such as gas,diesel or petrol the hydrogen can be considered as more efficient in terms of energy productionper pound of fuel. There are several reasons which makes hydrogen highly suitable for ICengine. Even at high temperature hydrogen has very high flame propagation rates. It reduces thecombustion duration and produces highly efficient output. Another advantage of using hydrogenas fuel is that its usage in IC engines generates less emission of undesirable and exhaustingemissions. () stated that hydrogen is characterised by the quick burning characteristics so that enginecan operate with high speed. During cold weather the IC engines may face difficulties inoperations. However, the hydrogen has low boiling points which helps to overcome these issues.There are several physical and combustion properties of hydrogen which makes the elementsuitable for the engine usage. For instance hydrogen has the highest maximum energy content1
