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.enCopyright 2007 DAAAM InternationalCrop and Pasture Production n.e.c.FOR:090299dieselelectrolysis of wateron board h2/02 mixtureConference paper
