Description
Project description
Title: Theoretical and experimental study of the dual combustion of hydrogen in a diesel engine. This project aims to study, through engine simulation, the impact on the performance and emissions of a diesel engine converted to H2-DualFuel. The aim is to develop a simulation model of this technology at the engine level that will serve as a basis for determining how to optimize the dual-fuel transformation of heavy vehicle diesel engines, guaranteeing low polluting emissions (Euro VI and Euro 7 compliance) and high efficiency. The final goal of the project will be to compare results and help guide a parallel project that will realize and study a retrofitted engine experimentally.
