One-dimensional simulation of two stroke hydrogen direct injection linear generator free-piston engine

TL;DRAbstract

Developing one-dimensional (1D) simulation of two stroke hydrogen direct injection linear generator free-piston engine (2-stroke H2-DI LGFPE) is a low cost approach and it can avoid errors. A 1D simulation 2-stroke H2-DI LGFPE has been developed using GT-POWER software. The performance parameters of a 2-stroke H2-DI LGFPE have been investigated through various bore and stroke configurations. The performance parameter is also obtained by identifying 2-stroke H2-DI LGFPE at various start of fuel injection (SOF), start of ignition (SOI) and fuel per cycle (FPC). The modeling of 2- stroke H2-DI LGFPE in GT-POWER requires different technique than the conventional engine since the crank slider mechanism is absent. The results from the simulation are compared with Fathallah, 2009, Maher, 2004 and Mikalsen, 2008c. From the analysis, the optimum performance is obtained when bore-stroke (B/S) ratio is 0.86. For the SOF, the optimum performance gain at piston position of 65.17 mm before TDC (bTDC
