Performance Prediction of Spark-Ignition Engine Running on Gasoline-hydrogen and Methane-hydrogen Blends

Hydrogen is a strong candidate as an alternative fuel and energy carrier which could address problems of environmental pollution, emissions, and geo-political tensions. The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of hydrogen fuel with other fuels and to investigate the power and performance...
