HYDROGEN ENERGY Comprehensive resource exploring integrated hydrogen technology with guidance for developing practical operating systems Hydrogen Energy presents all-inclusive knowledge on hydrogen production and storage to enable readers to design guidelines for its production, storage, and applications, addressing the recent renewed interest in hydrogen energy to manage the global energy crisis and discussing the electrochemical potential of hydrogen in transportation and fuel cells. Written by a highly qualified author, Hydrogen Energy explores sample topics such as: Essentials of hydrogen energy, such as its occurrence, physico-chemical properties, production, transmission, delivery, storage, and utilization Technology of hydrogen utilization in the land transport sector, such as automobiles, as well as other modes of transport, like marine and air Combustion characteristics and environmental pollution features, internal combustion engines, and fuel cells Guidelines to design prototype systems, covering their safety, hydrogen induced damages and life cycle analysis Providing in-depth coverage of the subject, Hydrogen Energy is an ideal resource for researchers and professionals working towards developing time-bound goal-oriented hydrogen-based programs in the chemical, automobile, power, and process engineering sectors.

A comprehensive and authoritative resource for the development of hydrogen-specific internal combustion engines Hydrogen Engines: Design, Performance Evaluation, Combustion Analysis, and Exhaust Emissions, authored by Dr. Lalit Mohan Das, a seasoned alternative fuels researcher, offers an in-depth technical description of hydrogen as a fuel, presenting a balanced analysis of hydrogen’s advantages and challenges. The book covers hydrogen’s performance, emissions, combustion, and safety aspects for both spark ignition (SI) engines and compression ignition (CI) engines. A comprehensive source of information on the design requirements for hydrogen-specific engines, the book compiles the technical guidelines typically found only in research papers scattered amongst the scientific literature. In Hydrogen Engines, readers will find: A thorough consideration of the distinctive properties of hydrogen, such as minimum ignition energy, flammability limit, and flame speed, and their influence on undesirable combustion phenomena, such as pre-ignition, backfire, and knockingComprehensive explorations of the modes of utilization of hydrogen in internal combustion engines, neat hydrogen engines, dual fuel, and hydrogen in blends with other fuels, such as CNG, LPG, Alcohols, Biogas, Biodiesel, DME producer gas, etc.Upgraded strategies such as supercharging, turbocharging, stratification, HCCI, RCCI, and rotary engine configuration using hydrogen fuel Applications of laser diagnostics and other sensing techniquesNOx formation and exhaust emission control, lean engine operations, and exhaust gas recirculationA detailed description of how to mitigate hydrogen’s challenges to develop efficient, low-emission engines and prototype real-world vehicles Invaluable for researchers in academia and government labs, the book will also benefit policymakers and engineers working in research and development within the automotive and transportation industries.
