Previous research by the authors showed that hydrogen combustion exhibits a higher cooling loss to the combustion chamber wall of an internal combustion engine compared to hydrocarbon combustion because of its higher burning velocity and shorter quenching distance. The high cooling loss means that reduction of the cooling loss is essential to establish a high thermal efficiency in hydrogen combustion engines. This research analyzed the applicability of equations to describe the heat transfer from burning gases to hydrogen combustion. The result shows that equations calculate a lower cooling loss than experimental values, and the use of correction coefficients does not accurately define the actual cooling rate. It is therefore concluded that the derivation of a new heat transfer equation for hydrogen combustion is necessary to improve the thermal efficiency of hydrogen fuelled engines.
