AB - In modern research, simulation has become a powerful tool as it saves time  and also economical when compared to experimental study. This paper deals  with a comprehensive model of a spark ignition hydrogen fueled engine.  Woschni's heat transfer co-relation is used by this model for predicting the  heat transfer in the engine. Two zone combustion model has been opted for  simulating the combustion process. Two zone models account for the combustion  chamber geometry and for the presence of burnt and unburnt gases. The results  are compared with the experimental data and it is found that there was a good  convergence of results. The engine efficiency and power has been slightly  over predicted because dissociation has not been included in the model.
