Summary:

In recent decades, interest in alternative fuels has grown exponentially. Hydrogen has been researched as total or partial substitutes for gasoline in light vehicles, showing great potential. However, this fuel has unique characteristics and properties that can bring improvements or limitations in engine performance. Therefore, a quick analysis of the pressure and HRR curve can highlight changes in combustion and performance. To this end, the aim of this work is to develop a visual interface generated by MATLAB capable of showing the performance parameters of a spark ignition engine when using hydrogen as fuel, initially. This graphic interface is supported with a zero-dimensional model based on the Wiebe function and Woschni correlation to estimating the pressure and HRR values. The interface is designed to receive operating conditions and geometry of the engine, as well as combustion angles. From the information entered, it is possible to visualize mass fraction burned, heat transfer, fluid properties and estimate thermal efficiency and fuel consumption. This focus helps in the study of combustion and in making decisions about the economic viability of using hydrogen in internal combustion engines
