Hydrogen as a fuel. some aspects of its combustion processes

Abstract

The possibility of utilizing hydrogen as a fuel in air breathing power plants or in other energy conversion systems in a near future has been extensively studied and discussed, as for example, in the First World Hydrogen Energy Conference, including the associated problems of energy storage and energy transportation. Research on combustion of hydrogen has been mainly pionered through aerospace programs, due to the fact of the high interest of hydrogen both as a propellant for liquid fueled rocket motors, and as a fuel of excellent characteristics for air breathing engines, for the propulsion of subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic vehicles
