Present study investigates the overall performance and emissions of diesel engine fuelled
through CNSL and hydrogen as dual fuel. The fuels have been tested under stationary,
one cylinder, water chilled diesel engine. Here the hydrogen is added with B20 (20%
CNSL and 80% diesel) fuel for different flow rate namely 4lpm, 8lpm and 12lpm. Engine
test results showed that exhaust emissions are reduced and performance are improved by
adding hydrogen fuel. The results showed that the addition of 8lpm H2 with B20 decreased
the HC and CO emission compared to B20 and neat diesel fuel. The BTE and NOx
increased for the above dual fuel mode. The NOx and exhaust gas temperature are
increased for 8lpm H2 addition with B20 fuel.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF 4 STROKE HYBRID (PETROL +WATER) TEST RIGJournal For Research
In the present scenario the growing concern of the people living in every part of society is the ever increasing price of fuel and the harmful effects caused due to higher level of pollutants in the atmosphere. For that search, alternative fuels are encouraged. One of the closest solution to control the above two concern is the evolution of the hybrid vehicle. The water hybrid vehicle uses an HHO (Oxy Hydrogen) generator to supply hydrogen on demand by Electrolysis. This reduces the exhaust gas emitted during the working of engine, and the temperature of the engine is also reduced which is produced by the burning of ordinary fuels. The HHO gas is injected into the inlet manifold of the combustion chamber through the air filter of the engine. It minimizes the carbon deposition in the cylinder thereby increasing the changing period of engine oil it also improves the efficiency of the engine and the life span.

Simulation of Combustion Process with Delayed Entry Technique Using Discrete ...AM Publications
The rapidly increasing worldwide demand for energy and the progressive depletion of fossil fuels has led to an
intensive research for alternative fuels which can be produced on a renewable basis. Hydrogen in the form of energy will
almost certainly be one of the most important energy components of the early next century. Hydrogen is a clean burning and
easily transportable fuel. Most of the pollution problems posed by fossil fuels at present would practically disappear with
Hydrogen since steam is the main product of its combustion. This Paper deals with the modeling of Suction and Compression
Processes for Hydrogen Fuelled S.I.Engine and also describes the safe and backfire free Delayed entry Technique. A four
stroke, Multicylinder, Naturally aspirated, Spark ignition engine, water cooled engine has been used to carrying out of
investigations of Suction Process. The Hydrogen is entered in the cylinder with the help of Delayed Entry Valve. This work
discusses the insight of suction process because during this process only air and Hydrogen enters in to cylinder, which after
combustion provides power. Simulation is the process of designing a model of a real system and conduction experiment with it,
for the purpose of understanding the behavior of the design. The advent of computers and the possibilities of performing
numerical experiments may provide new way of designing S.I.Engine. In fact stronger interaction between Engine Modelers,
Designers and Experimenters may results in improved engine design in the not-to-distant future. A computer Programme is
developed for analysis of suction and Compression processes. The parameter considered in computation includes engine speed,
compression ratio, ignition timing, fuel-air ratio and heat transfer. The results of computational exercise are discussed in the
paper.

ABSTRAC: Oxy-Hydrogen gas, H2O2, is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen produced by water electrolysis. In this work, an experimental exploration was carried out in order to study the effect of the addition of oxy-hydrogen gas into inlet air manifold on speed performance characteristics of a diesel engine at different operating conditions. The experimental work was performed on a test rig comprising a four stroke 5.67 liters water-cooled diesel engine and a Heenan hydraulic dynamometer. Instrumentation included devices for measuring engine speed, load, fuel consumption and inlet air flow rate. The measurements were conducted at 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 rpm. At each speed, the engine load was adjusted to 20%, 40% and 80% from the engine full load which corresponds to engine brake mean effective pressures of 1.55, 3.11, and 6.22 bar, respectively, for Oxy-hydrogen generator supplied Currents of 26A and electrolyte concentration of 25 %. The fuel saving percentage and so the brake thermal efficiency for the H2O2 enriched CI engine is more evidently seen at low loads and high-speed conditions. the volumetric efficiency drop was about 5 % at small speeds and reaches to about 2% at higher engine speed.

Experimental investigation of the effect of hydrogen addition on combustion p...Amiya K. Sahoo
The world is presently confronted with two major issues; fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation. Indiscriminate extraction and high consumption of fossil fuels have led to reduction in crude oil resources. The search for an alternative fuel, which promises a harmonious correlation with sustainable development, energy conservation, management, efficiency, and environmental preservation, has become highly pronounced in the present context.
One approach to reduce these problems is by blending hydrogen gas with hydrocarbon fuels used in internal combustion engines.Recently, using hydrogen or hydrogen-gasoline blends as a supplement fuel for spark ignition and compression ignition engines is one of the potential solutions for improving brake thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and pollution emissions from internal combustion engines.
In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of Hydrogen-Gasoline fuels in the context of combustion engines are discussed, and combustion performances and emission characteristics are experimentally investigated at various hydrogen volume fraction and graphs are plotted.
Maintaining Data Confidentiality in Association Rule Mining in Distributed En...IJSRD
The data in real world applications is distributed at multiple locations, and the owner of the databases may be different people. Thus to perform mining task, the data needs to be kept at central location which causes threat to the privacy of corporate data. Hence the key challenge is to applying mining on distributed source data with preserving privacy of corporate data. The system addresses the problem of incrementally mining frequent itemsets in dynamic environment. The assumption made here is that, after initial mining the source undergoes into small changes in each time. The privacy of data should not be threatened by an adversary i.e. the miner and target database owner should not be able to recover original data from transformed data.
Performance and Emission characteristics of a Single Cylinder Four Stroke Die...IJSRD
The current trends in CI engine are to use Water-diesel emulsion as alternative fuel. It can be employed directly to the existing CI Engine system with no additional modifications. This system helps in reduction of NOx as well as PM, which in turn improve the combustion efficiency of the engine. However there are still investigations have to be done. The current work mainly concentrated on diesel engine run on water-diesel emulsions and its effect on engine performance and emissions were studied. The various loads were applied on a constant speed diesel engine run on water-diesel emulsions of varying ratios of 0.2:1, 0.3:1. 0.4:1 and 0.5:1. Emission and performance characteristics were measured and were compared with base diesel operation. The emissions like NOx and smoke density were found to decrease greatly and brake thermal efficiency was found to increase at high loads. Smoke level was 4.2 BSU and 3 BSU for base diesel and water diesel emulsion of 0.4. The ignition delay was found to increase with water diesel emulsions. This also increased the maximum rate of pressure rise and peak pressure. The engine was found to run rough with water-diesel emulsions. The optimal water-diesel ratio was found to be 0.4:1 by weight. HC and CO emissions were found to increase with water diesel emulsions.

Keystroke Dynamics Authentication with Project Management SystemIJSRD
Generally user authentication is done using username and password that is called as login process. This login process is not more secure because, however a login session is still unprotected to impersonator when the user leaves his computer without logging off. Keystroke dynamics methods can be made useful to verify a user by extracting some typing features then, after the authentication process has successfully ended. From the last decade several studies proposed the use of keystroke dynamics as a behavioral biometric tool to verify users. We propose a new method, for representing the keystroke patterns by joining similar pairs of consecutive keystrokes. The above proposed method is used to consider clustering the di-graphs which are based on their temporal features. In this project, authentication system is provide to project management system that make more Secure management system without acknowledging unauthorized user. The Project Management System addresses the management of software projects. It provides the framework for organizing and managing resources in such a way that these resources deliver all the work required to complete a software project within defined scope, time and cost constraints. The system applies only to the management of software projects and is a tool that facilitates decision making.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Abstract— Faced with the ever increasing cost of
conventional fossil fuels and the severe environmental
pollution, researchers worldwide are working to cost
effectively improve internal combustion engines fuel
economy and emission characteristics. Recently, use of
hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gas as fuel supplement for SI and
CI engines is considered to be one of the potential solutions
to these problems. Hydrogen has many excellent
combustion properties that can be used for improving
hydrocarbon combustion and emissions performance of both
SI and CI engines. This article presents a brief review on the
recent progress in the application of hydrogen as a fuel
additive to improve the efficiencies and emissions of
modern IC engines.
Key words: Hydrogen Enrichment, Brown’s Gas, Spark
Ignition, Compression Ignition, Performance, Emissions
I. INTRODUCTION
Hydrocarbon fuels provide the primary source of energy
used in the world. These fuels are used for applications such
as electrical power generation, heating and transportation.
Although hydrocarbon fuels provide energy for our world
they have several very serious side effects. These negative
side effects include harmful polluting emissions, increased
level of greenhouse gases and catastrophic disasters such as
large scale oil spills. Due to the widespread dependence on
hydrocarbon fuels and the difficulty of their replacement, it
is not economically feasible to completely eliminate their
use in the near future. Hence, methods are needed to
significantly reduce the harmful emissions and consumption
of hydrocarbon fuels. With the depletion of fossil fuel and
the adverse effect it has on the environment, researchers
worldwide are working overtime to cost effectively improve
internal combustion engine (ICE) fuel economy and
emission characteristics. It is in this context that many are
looking into hydrogen technologies as part of a sustainable
energy solution.
Hydrogen is the lightest chemical element with the
symbol H and having molecular formula H2. Among all
fuels, hydrogen is a long term renewable, recyclable and
non-polluting fuel. It is carbon-free and the combustion of
hydrogen gas produce water only. It is the most abundant
resource in the universe. However the biggest problems in
the use of hydrogen as a fuel are (i) the high cost of
hydrogen gas processing from production to compression
and (ii) the danger involved in carrying compressed
hydrogen gas and (iii) increase emission of nitrogen oxides
(NOx).
One recent approach in tackling the above
mentioned problems is the use of hydrogen as fuel
supplement in fossil fuel combustion systems. Hydrogen
holds significant promise as a supplemental fuel to improve
the performance and emissions of spark ignition (SI) and
compression ignition (CI) engines. Example of SI and CI
engines are gasoline and diesel engines respectively.
Hydrogen fuel enhancement is the process of using
a mixture of hydrogen and conventional hydrocarbon fuel in
an internal combustion engine, typically in a car or truck, in
an attempt to improve fuel economy, power output, or both.
This kind of hydrogen energy application is more feasible at
our present stage than trying to use hydrogen as total
replacement for fossil fuel due to the high cost of hydrogen
production and safety measures. Therefore the present
article is intended to give a brief review on the recent
application of hydrogen as fuel supplement in modern ICEs.
II. HYDROGEN PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION
The setup for introducing hydrogen into the engine involves
a hydrogen source or tanks on-board. Currently, there are
three main options for on-board production of hydrogen for
fuel enrichment- (i) water electrolysis [1] (i) carrying
compressed hydrogen gas on the vehicle as a second fuel [2]
(iii) or reforming conventional fuel into hydrogen with a
catalyst [3]. Among these, electrolysis of water isconsidered
to be the simplest and a convenient method for on-board
generation of hydrogen. By the process of electrolysis
hydrogen can be generated on demand basis avoiding the
potential danger of storing the gas. The most common type
of electrolyzer design used in this application has multi-
electrodes structure and, the gas output is the 2:1
stoichiometric mixture of H2 and O2 commonly known as
Brown’s gas or oxy-hydrogen (HHO) gas. This system can
be used for both SI and CI internal combustion engines.
Generally hydrogen or Brown’s gas is applied to
the engine by direct injection to the air intake manifold
[1,4]. This method does not require any major modification
to the engine hardware and software. However, to obtain
best results additional electronic control systems are
required to be integrated with the engine that will vary
hydrogen percentage depending on fuel air equivalence
ratio, engine speed and load [4]. An important point to note
in on-board water electrolysis is that part of the vehicle
alternator electrical output will be used to run the
electrolyzer unit. Therefore, the feasibility of generating
hydrogen gas on-board by water electrolysis has to carefully
examine first, to avoid overloading of the engine electrical
source. A few options are there to make room for water
electrolysis in terms of energy demand: (a) alternator update
(b) use of LED in Head light system or (c) increasing water
electrolysis efficiency. As far as the water electrolysis is
concerned our recent study had shown that an 11 plate
HHO dry cell under direct DC electrolysis has the efficiency
of about 60% and consumed about 131 Watt of electrical
energy to continuously produced about 1 LPM of HHO gas
[5]. According to other studies further improvement in
effeciency can be achieved using circular cell structure,
pulse width modulator (PWM) or ultra-short pulse power
supply instead of direct DC [6,7].

III. EFFECTS OF HYDROGEN GAS ON ENGINE PERFORMANCES
A number of research reports have now appeared studying
the effects of hydrogen or Brown gas as fuel supplement in
hydrocarbon combustion engines. The parameters used to
define the engine performances are mainly engine torque,
specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and
exhaust emissions. These studies show that presence of only
small quantity hydrogen or Brown gas can have significant
improvement in the performances and emission
characteristics of both spark ignition (SI) and compression
ignition (CI) engines. However the amount of improvements
achieved varies widely depending on the type of engine, fuel
and method of engine optimization. Reduction in fuel
consumption from 20% to 40% had been obtained in
gasoline SI engines [1,8] while for diesel operated engines
the improvement in fuel consumption is around 13% after
hydrogen enrichment [4,9]. Apart from this, increase in
brake thermal efficiency and engine torque are observed
[4,10].
Significant improvements in engine emissions are
also noticed as a result of hydrogen addition in both types of
engines. In general, the emission of air pollutants decrease
by 5-9.5% for HCs, 7-20% for CO and 19.3% for particulate
matter [4,10]. However for NOx, while a reduction by 50%
on the average has been reported by Musmar and Al-Rousan
[8], other studies showed increased emission level of the
gases [2,9]. This is due to the dependence of NOx formation
on different factors such as engine compression ratio,
hydrogen enrichment level and engine load. In general, NOx
emission is found to increase with higher engine
compression ratio, high concentration of hydrogen and high
engine load [2,9].
The ability of hydrogen blended fuels to burn more
cleanly and efficiently is owed to its unique combustion
characteristics such as high flame speed, the high
diffusivity, low ignition energy and wide flammability limits
[4]. The properties of hydrogen in comparison to
hydrocarbon fuels are given in Table I [10]. When hydrogen
is used as additional fuel, the high diffusivity of hydrogen
makes the combustible mixture better premixed with air and
more uniform [4]. On ignition by spark plug or compression,
its flame front flashes through the engine cylinder at a much
higher velocity than in ordinary fuel/air combustion.
Because of its very high combustion velocity, hydrogen
detonates all the fuel virtually at once. This applies more
pressure on the piston in a shorter time interval and most
importantly, burns and extracts power from the fuel that
previously would have been thrown away through the
exhaust. Therefore, hydrogen increases combustion
efficiency by forcing the engine to burn hydrocarbon fuel
more completely and efficiently. Moreover the wide
flammability range of hydrogen allows ultra-lean
combustion which dramatically reduces specific fuel
consumption [2]. However, in this application, hydrogen
contributes an insignificant amount of direct kinetic energy
toward moving the engine's pistons. In other words, HHO
delivers its primary benefit by modifying the car's fuel, not
by acting as the car's fuel.
Hydrogen gas is also found to have similar
beneficial effects in the combustion of other fuels. Senthil et
al reported an increase in the brake thermal efficiency from
27.3% to a maximum of 29.3% in a compression ignition
engine primarily powered by a vegetable oil, namely
Jatropha oil [11]. They also noticed significant smoke
reduction by 20% and a reduction in UBHC and CO
emissions from 130 to 100 ppm and 0.26-0.17% (by
volume), respectively, at maximum power output .
Tunestal et al. [12] experimentally proved that
addition of hydrogen to natural gas increase the efficiency of
the combustion engine as well as.

Table 1: Properties Of Hydrogen
Lowered HCs emission [12]. The increase in
efficiency is due to increase in burn rate and combustion
efficiency. The increased in burn rate allowed retarded
ignition timing which decreases heat loss, lower maximum
temperature and thus, lower Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
emissions.
IV. CONCLUSION
Hydrogen or hydrogen rich gas is a potential fuel
supplement in both SI and CI engines to enhance engine
performance and improve emission characteristics.
Generation of hydrogen in a form called Brown’s gas by
electrolysis of water on-board vehicle appears to be a
convenient and low cost method. The high burning velocity,
wide flammability range, high diffusivity and low ignition
energy are the main characteristics that make hydrogen a
potential additive for different type of hydrocarbon fuels.
