Effect of Mixture Strength and Injection Timing on Combustion Characteristics of a Direct Injection Hydrogen-Fueled Engine

An experimental investigation was performed to characterize the hydrogen combustion in a spark-ignition direct-injection engine. It was focused on the effects of mixture strength and injection timing on the characteristics of hydrogen combustion. For this purpose, the practical tests were carried ou...
