dc.description.abstractUsing hydrogen as an additive to decrease fuel consumption in conventional diesel engines has been investigated by several researchers and the outcomes have been very promising. However, the problems associated with the production and storage of pure hydrogen currently limit the application of pure hydrogen in automotive industry. On-board hydrogen-oxygen generator, which produces [H.sub.2]/[O.sub.2] mixture through electrolysis of water, has significant potential to overcome these problems. This paper focuses on evaluating the performance enhancement of a conventional diesel engine through the addition of [H.sub.2]/[O.sub.2] mixture, generated through water electrolysis. The experimental works were carried out under a constant load and speed with varying the amount of [H.sub.2]/[O.sub.2] mixture. Results showed that by using a small percentage of hydrogen-oxygen mixture, upto 15% fuel saving can be achieved and the brake thermal efficiency was also increased by 2.55% showing better combustion.
