TL;DR: In this article, a review is given of contemporary research on the hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine and the emphasis is on light-to medium-duty engine research, where it is shown that due to low volumetric efficiencies and frequent preignition combustion events, the power densities of premixed or port-fuel-injected hydrogen engines are diminished relative to gasoline-powered engines.

TL;DR: The types of sensors reviewed in this chapter are (1) room-temperature hydrogen leak sensors; (2) thermometers, particularly useful at low temperature; (3) liquid hydrogen volume and mass gauges; and (4) para/ortho hydrogen ratiometers as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Four types of hydrogen detectors are used by researchers, engineers, and manufacturers
today, and if hydrogen continues to play a role in emerging alternative energy sources,
there will be exponential growth in the use and need for more advanced and more robust
devices in the future. The types of sensors reviewed in this chapter are (1) room-temperature hydrogen leak sensors; (2) thermometers, particularly useful at low temperature;
(3) liquid hydrogen volume and mass gauges; and (4) para/ortho hydrogen ratiometers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism for hydrogen and H2/CO (syngas) mixtures has been updated, rate constants have been adjusted to reflect new experimental information obtained at high pressures and new rate constant values recently published in the literature, and good agreement was observed.
