This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to hydrogen internal combustion engines, exploring their principles, technologies, performance, and environmental impact. It explains how hydrogen can be used as a clean alternative fuel in conventional engines and discusses key challenges such as combustion control, efficiency, and emissions. Written for students, engineers, and researchers, this book combines scientific rigor with practical insights to support the development of sustainable transportation systems. The opening chapters establish a solid technical foundation by introducing the principles of energy conversion, thermodynamics, combustion processes, and engine operation. Conventional internal combustion engines are examined in detail, with particular attention given to fuel properties, air-fuel mixing, ignition mechanisms, and emission formation. This foundational knowledge equips readers with the essential tools required to understand both the limitations of traditional fossil-fueled engines and the motivations for alternative fuel development.
