Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; In this study, HHO gas was produced by the process of water electrolysis. Electrolytes such that KOH is used as an electrolyte which reacts with electrode and produce the hydrogen. HHO gas was used as a supplementary fuel in a single cylinder, four strokes, spark ignition (SI) engine without any modification. In this experiment the HHO gas was supplied with intake air. The control valve was used for control the supply of HHO gas. The range of amount of HHO gas was placed between 2.57% to 2.74% with intake air. Also compression ratio was arranged at 7, 8 and 9 turn by turn. At this condition load was set at different condition at 1kg, 3kg, 5kg, 7kg and 9kg. After completing this experiment, an analysis was done. The Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon were decreased when compression ratio and % of HHO gas was increased. Also the Nitrogen oxide was increased when compression ratio and % of HHO gas was increased.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
