Brown's Gas (HHO) has been introduced to the auto industry as a new source of energy. The motive of this project is to design and construct a simple HHO generation system and test it on suitable IC engine by introducing it with the conventional fuel. The effect of hydroxyl gas (HHO) addition into gasoline fuel will be evaluated on engine performance and emissions. The HHO cell should be designed, constructed and optimised for maximum productivity of the cell in producing HHO gas per input power. Literature studies show that the parameters on which the productivity of the cell depends are number of neutral plates, distance between them and type and quantity of solutes that is Potassium Hydroxide (KOH). The results are estimated as increment in power, reduction in fuel consumption, reduction in CO, reduction in HC and reduction in NOx. The addition of HHO gas into gasoline is an effective way of improving the engine performance and maintaining the exhaust emissions to an environment friendly limit compared to neat gasoline operations.

AbstractThe Paris Agreement has highlighted the need in reducing carbon emissions. Attempts in using lower carbon fuels such as Propane gas have seen limited success, mainly due to liquid petroleum gas tanks structural/size limitations. A compromised solution is presented, by combusting Jet A fuel with a small fraction of Propane gas. Propane gas with its relatively faster overall igniting time, expedites the combustion process. Computational fluid dynamics software was used to demonstrate this solution, with results validated against physical engine data. Jet A fuel was combusted with different Propane gas dosing fractions. Results demonstrated that depending on specific propane gas dosing fractions emission reductions in ppm are; NOx from 84 to 41, CO2 from less than 18,372 to less than 15,865, escaping unburned fuels dropped from 11.4 (just Jet A) to 6.26e-2 (with a 0.2 fraction of Propane gas). Soot and CO increased, this is due to current combustion chamber air mixing design.
