Hydrogen-Steel Compatibility Research at NIST-Boulder

Siewert T.A., Slifka A.J., McColskey J.D., Lasseigne A.N., Nanninga N.E., Levi Y., NIST, US

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is establishing a new national test facility in Boulder, Colorado to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials proposed to store, transport, and distribute hydrogen fuels. Many of [...]

Silica Nanosprings – A Novel Nanostructured Material for Hydrogen Storage

Norton M.G., McIlroy D.N., Corti G., Miller M.A., Washington State University, US

Hydrogen storage for transportation applications remains a challenge. Current approaches are still short of published goals, in particular in being able to operate at acceptable temperatures. Physisorption, or non-dissociative approaches, where the hydrogen is stored [...]

Expermental Study of Hydrogen in Internal Combustion Engines

Albayrak Çeper B., Berat Birsen E., Orhan Akansu S., Kahraman N., Erciyes University, TR

In this study, the engine performance, power, efficiency, specific fuel consumption and variation of pressure in the cylinder have been investigated in case of the use of hydrogen fuels in internal combustion engines, and compared [...]

Technical Analysis of a Dual-Fuel (Hydrogen and Gasoline) Extended Range Electric Vehicle for Component Selection and Design

Van Wieringen M., Pop-Iliev R., University of Ontario Institute of Technology, CA

Hydrogen is an ideal vehicle fuel for use not only in fuel cells, but also in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The combustion of Hydrogen fuel offers vastly superior tail-pipe emissions when compared with gasoline and [...]
