A Theoretical Review on the Methods and Production of Gaseous Fuels Usage in an Internal Combustion Engines

An increase in human activities and high population growth have significantly increased the world’senergy source of demands. The major source of energy for the world today is from fossil fuels, which arepolluting and degrading the environment due to the emission of greenhouse gases. Usage of Gaseous fuelssuch as acetylene and hydrogen in an IC engines with the methods and production is going to be analyzedin this paper.Acetylene and hydrogen gas is an identified efficient energy carrier and can be obtainedthrough various renewable sources. An overview of acetylene and hydrogen production by variousmethods and its usage in the Compression ignition engine is going to be reviewed. In the review, theanalysis of properties such as density, Cetane number, calorific value, stoichiometric air fuel ratio, Autoignition temperature, Flammability limits, ignition energy, and maximum deflagration speed differs forboth the fuels. In addition to that, the method of inducting both the gaseous fuels in CI engines is to befocused in its usage. Both the gaseous fuels are very hazardous in its usage and implementation in CIEngines. Also the safety method of inducting gaseous fuels such as flame trap, flame arrestors to resistthe back fire is also analyzed. The various analysis such as performance, emission and combustioncharacteristics by implementing / inducting this gaseous fuel in CI engines is focused in this review.
