DOI: MODELING THE COMMON RAIL FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM OF A FOUR-CYLINDER HYDROGEN-FUELED ENGINE
Rosli M. Rahman , Faculty Of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Pekan, Pahang, MalaysiaAbstract
This research paper presents a comprehensive modeling approach for the common rail fuel injection system of a four-cylinder hydrogen-fueled engine. Hydrogen fuel, with its potential to contribute to a low-carbon energy landscape, necessitates a detailed understanding of its injection system dynamics. The study involves the development of a mathematical model that captures the intricate interactions within the common rail system, including high-pressure fuel storage, injector behavior, and pressure wave propagation. Through simulation and analysis, the model's accuracy and effectiveness in representing the hydrogen injection process are evaluated. This investigation sheds light on the critical aspects of hydrogen fuel injection, enhancing the knowledge base for optimizing engine performance and emissions in a sustainable energy context.
