That's a really good idea about studying this at Uni as you will have access to a lot of things that us backyard guys don't.
There are a few things I would like to know about what is going on in there.
What is the full chemical reaction of diesel with and without hydrogen and atmospheric air, in theory and practice.
What is the difference in emissions with and with out hydrogen supplementation before the catalytic converter (if fitted).
And here is an important one.
I would like to see bench tests of an engine on straight diesel, hydrogen supplemented and hydrogen supplemented via an engine driven booster. This would lay the old argument of boosters using more power that it's worth to rest, once and for all.
A few things I could think of for this last test would be for accurate measurement would be to have the engine on a dyno at a given load, logging intake air flow, fuel mappings and consumption, power consumption for booster, etc. I'm sure you or someone else could figure out other things that would need to be logged.
I might be going off on a tangent from what you originally ment, I'm not sure so I apologize if I did but I hope you find some very interesting data from your studies and hope you discover something great.
Good Luck!Statistics: Posted by Jehu — Sat Aug 21, 2010 10:53 am
