ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR IC ENGINE-FUEL CELL

ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR IC ENGINE-FUEL CELL

ABSTRACT

Depleting fossil fuel reserves and increasing vehicular emission have forced the attention of various petroleum industries to find and alternate fuel that will power the vehicle in future based on the present day internal design as the deposits of crude oil is expected to last for another 50 years at the minimum utilization level .the proposed fuel should suitably replace the existing fuel and at the same time it should be biadiesel,waste cooking oil,gasoline,biogas,compressed nitrogen gas, renewable Hydrogen is such fuels that has been proposed for the purpose which was suitable for spark ignition engines .biodiesel are extracted from various plants like jatopa ,nim etc. and used for IC engines .Biogas is also used alternative fuel for IC engine which is massively generated into ruler areas and used alternative for diesel.Waste cooking oil is also alternative for IC engines.Compressed nitrogen gas also a good alternative for IC engines and it is used for power vehicles in DEHLI.But we discussing another and most efficient and simple technology fuel hydrogen .Hydrogen combines the properties of higher calorific value ,higher velocity of flame propagation, on toxicity as well as lowest possible emission levels that do not affect the balance f the water of the hydrosphere.

Introduction

Fuel cell vehicles represent one of the emerging technologies of the innovation age. An efficient, combustion less, virtually pollution free, free power source capable of being sited down town urban areas or in remote regions, that runs almost silently, and has few moving parts but these vehicles are more reality than dreams. Fuel cells are one of the cleanest and most efficient technologies for generating electricity. More over the by product of combustion are devoid of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide which is the major advantage of vehicles powered by fuel cell vehicles.

The technology is extremely intersecting to people in all walks of life because it offers a mean of making power more efficiently and without pollution. World automakers seem to believe that low emissions, high efficiency fuel cell will eventually deliver the power and the performance that users expect. Despite difficult technical and market challenges to over come, the latest crop of fuel cell powered. concept car appears to exhibit many basic feature required for the success of this concept. Another name for fuel cell based vehicles are zero emission vehicle.When the fuel cells are fueled with pure hydrogen, they are considered to be zero emission vehicles. Fuel cells have been used on spacecraft for many years to power electric equipment. These are fueled with liquid hydrogen from the spacecraft's rocket fuel tanks.
