The biggest fundamental issue with hydrogen as a fuel is its volumetric energy density. Some people will get very excited about its gravimetric density since it weighs around three times less than jet fuel for the same energy content. The downside is that at room temperature and pressu...
The stored hydrogen can be employed for multiple purposes depending upon the applications, such as it can be used as jet fuel, can be employed for ammonia and methanol synthesis, used for refining, can also be employed to hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, and for also for sustainable ...
The crankshaft of the rotary piston engine is attached directly to the air compressor of the jet engine. The power from the expanding hydrogen drives the air compressor of the jet engine. After the hydrogen is expanded to produce power, the hydrogen is burned as fuel....
It is also used as a rocket fuel, for welding, for production of hydrochloric acid, for the reduction of metallic ores, and for filling balloons. The lifting power of 1 ft3 of hydrogen gas is about 0.076 lb at 0°C, 760 mm pressure. Production of hydrogen in the U.S. alone now ...
Characteristics of hydrogen-hydrocarbon composite fuel turbulent jet flames : Choudhuri, A. R. and Gollahalli, S. R. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2003, 28, (4), 445–454doi:10.1016/S0140-6701(03)81872-6
Fuel cells vs turbines Hydrogen can provide energy to propel aircraft either in fuel cells powering electric motors or by combustion in adapted gas turbine engines. “Externally, a hydrogen turbine would resemble a conventional one,’ says FlyZero chief propulsion engineer, Simon Webb...
Large quantities of hydrogen are utilized in catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated vegetable oils to make solid fats and petroleum refining. Large quantities of hydrogen are also used as a propulsion fuel for rockets in conjunction with oxygen or fluorine. Being flammable, it is used with helium fo...
The core of this problem is straightforward: Hydrogen fuel cells generate heat and thus need an appropriate cooling system. But solving this is not as easy as it sounds. When compared with internal combustion engines and jet engines, fuel cells “operate at a lower temperature while still genera...

The contemporary status of technology development of a hydrogen fuelled IC engine is higher than the PEM fuel cell with an electric engine [86]. The FCVs are more efficient and emission free, but are under research stage and more costly; while IC engines are a mature technology. As the IC...
