I'm interested in hydrogen injection for my 1 ton Dodge diesel truck to improve fuel mileage and power as well as lower pollutants. Electrolysing water to produce a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (called HHO or hydroxy or "Brown's gas") and then injecting it into the turbo intake is supposed to significantly improve the burning efficiency of the diesel fuel (like from the normal 75% to 90%)
I want to ask a question about burning the gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (2H+O). Namely, what happens to the volume of the mixture during and after the explosion. Does the volume increase (due to heat) or decrease (if the gas "collapses" to water)? Since the initial result is probably steam, does the resulting steam occupy more or less volume than the original gas? (I assume more since the number of moles of gas hasn't changed, and it's now hotter.) If the original gas were a rising bubble in water when detonated, I assume the bubble would at first get larger and then vanish as the steam condenses to liquid water. Is this correct?
If my assumption is correct, if you have a certain volume of the gas is at room temp and sea level pressure, approximately at what temperature and what volume would the steam occupy at the instant the combustion is complete?
