This project explores the feasibility of operating traditional gasoline combustion engines on hydrogen fuel through the development of a detailed computer simulation model. Led by researchers Lee Downer, Huai Wei Tang, Ron Ryan, and Keith Wakeham, the study employs methodologies including the Otto Cycle and finite heat release models to evaluate hydrogen combustion characteristics. The findings aim to advance understanding of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel option, addressing critical questions about engine performance and environmental impact.
