Abstract
The effects on combustion derived by the blending of hydrogen with traditional fuels adopted for internal combustion engines have been studied. Results derived by emission tests of a gasoline-fed vehicle equipped with a system for the production of hydrogen on-board have been analysed. The energy balance for the engine was evaluated. It demonstrated the increase of fuel consumptions to perform electrolysis process on-board the vehicle. Afterwards, numerical simulations based on a detailed kinetic model have been performed to calculate pollutant emissions produced by methane and iso-octane (which represents gasoline) compared with a mixture composed of 10% mol/mol by hydrogen. Chemical species studied were residual hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide. Notable variations of pollutant has not been calculated for methane, wherease iso-octane showed a reduction of the aforementioned pollutants when hydrogen was introduced. In the end operating costs have been analysed. The use of stored hydrogen produced by methane steam reforming found a reduction by 7% of costs, compared to the production via electrolysis.
