Hydrogen is a promising fuel and is expected to replace hydrocarbon fuels for its significant potentials to reduce the pollutants and greenhouse gases. It is very important to investigate minimum ignition energy (MIE) on safety standards and ignition process of hydrogen-air mixtures. In this study, the spark ignition of hydrogen-air mixture is investigated by using detailed chemical kinetics and considering the heat loss to the electrode. The purpose of this study is emphasized in the effects of the energy supply procedure and the radius of the spark channel on the MIE.
