Abstract:
Electrolytic production of hydrogen from water is gradually gaining its importance among the other “conventional process of hydrogen production .in the: context of renewable energy source utilization and environmentally clean technology. The present work study focuses on hydrogen gas production in a form called Brown's gas or HHO gas by alkaline water electrolysis with KOH as· electrolyte. The variation of HHO gas flow at different concentrations of electrolyte, current density; voltage was Investigated. During electrolysis the temperature of the electrolytic solution is also found to increase gradually with time due to over voltages, which further affects the current, electrical and. gas. production rate. The effects of different parameters on the HHO gas production rate and energy efficiency of electrolysis process are discussed.
