Abstract:

In today’s generation everyone is dreaming about their own car. Due to this, the number of cars& the demand of fossil fuel are increasing day by day. But the main problem associated with the use of cars is the fuel economy & the pollution created by its use. So to improve the fuel economy and to reduce the emission of harmful gases we should find an alternative. HHO is one of the best alternatives, which helps for the complete combustion of the fuel & by this it also helps in reducing the emission of the harmful gases. We have worked on the 4-stroke, Single cylinder engine for the experiments, with the use of HHO. We have supplied the HHO gas, produced by HHO kit, at the inlet manifold of the engine. The hydrogen gas mixes with the air and improves the combustion efficiency. We got the desirable results of reducing the specific fuel consumption and increase in the brake power as well as increase in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in CO emission at the cost of slightly increase in NOx emission by supplying. In the end, we have compared the readings of different parameters of the 4-stroke, Single cylinder engine without attaching the HHO kit & after attaching the HHO kit.
