How can the development of CO2 emission-free combustion engines succeed in time?
Awareness of the need for more sustainable mobility is growing, as is the pressure on engineers to deliver solutions quickly.
There is no question that the internal combustion engine (ICE) can and will continue to play an essential role in future mobility. However, to realize ICEs with zero CO2 and zero-impact pollutant emissions, using new/alternative fuels is critical. Hydrogen is possibly the most promising alternative fuel solution.
Numerous challenges exist in successfully developing Hydrogen engines, including:
- How do you get hydrogen into the combustion chamber?
- How do you achieve the best air-fuel mixture?
- What is the best way to ignite hydrogen?
- What NOx level is produced?
- Can I get a diesel-like performance?
Integrating simulation into your development process can shorten your time to market and allow you to quickly explore different concepts using thermodynamics cycle simulation to prepare or confirm design decisions. 3D-CFD provides detailed insights into mixture formation, combustion, and heat transfer.
