The practicability of utilizing a hydrogen-oxygen-fueled, internal-combustion engine in conjunction with low-pressure cryogenic tanks was determined through an experimental investigation conducted at the Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory. This experimental investigation incorporated subcritical tankage with a low-flow cryogenic pump, an internal-combustion power-generating unit, and associated control instrumentation. The development effort concentrated on the improvement of the endurance capabilities of the carbureted hydrogen-oxygen, internal-combustion engine. Specific performance data on all components tested are presented. One of the principal results of the investigation is the recommended use of subcooled liquid hydrogen in the cryogenic pumping system. However, further development effort on both the pumping system and the power generation are necessary before these components can be integrated successfully. (Author).

This book explores the potential of hydrogen combustion in thermal engines and serves as a foundation for future research. Hydrogen, a well-established energy carrier, has been used in internal combustion engines for centuries, but despite progress and industry interest, hydrogen engines have yet to reach mass production. In light of recent efforts to combat climate change with clean energy and environmentally-friendly technologies, the use of hydrogen in thermal engines is gaining momentum. This book examines the unique challenges of hydrogen combustion due to its wide flammability limits, high auto-ignition temperature, and high diffusivity. It reviews current knowledge on the fundamental and practical aspects of hydrogen combustion and considers current developments and potential future advancement.
