There
is a net
chemical energy contained within a particular quantity
of fuel. The question that research can answer, is if the combination of
a quantity of carbon fuel, and hydrogen based fuel, will help release more
energy than is typically released from the combustion of each fuel
individually. This would highlight that a synergistic effect is
occurring. Independent of a synergistic effect, the
addition of a hydrogen and oxygen mixture to a quantity of carbon fuel,
will indeed increase the combustion efficiency.
