Abstract: As a solution to reduce the energy crisis and environmental pollution the hydrogen usage has been studied by various researchers. Hydrogen it is a fuel with low ignition energy, high combustion rate and wide inflammability limit. The focus of this paper is trying to analyze the main properties of hydrogen and the combustion properties by collecting experimental data from different rapports. The paper analyses form research rapports in-cylinder pressure, flame developing duration and combustion duration, heat release rate and effective thermal efficiency.

Keywords: hydrogen, combustion, heat release, thermal efficiency
