The advancement in the engine technology makes the viable solution to fit the hydrogen as the working fuel for both CI and SI engines. The physio-chemical chemical properties of hydrogen have the apt fitment for the SI engine. With the advancement in the automotive electronics and precision control of the fuel handling system makes hydrogen a workable option for the replacement for the conventional fuels. In this research hydrogen was inducted into the intake manifold and Gasoline is injected directly into the cylinder of the small-bore Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) Engine at wide open throttle condition. The intake manifold is slightly modified to accommodate the hydrogen induction system (0-8 Litres Per Minute), where premixed mixture of hydrogen and air is formed in the intake manifold; the equivalence ratio of 1.0, 1.02 and 1.08 was set for the given hydrogen induction. The engine conditions were set as 3000 rpm with five hydrogen addition fractions of 0 %, 1.5 %, 2.8 %, 4.2 % and 5.8 % respectively. The hydrogen induction improves the combustion rate and mean effective pressure; shorten the flame propagation, maximize the heat release rate and peak pressure attainment. Maximum of 16 % increase in the peak pressure is attained for the lambda = 1 for the 5.8 % hydrogen addition fraction. On the emission side, consistent decrease in CO and HC emission; and increase of NO emission, since the mean gas temperature has increased.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHydrogenSmall BoreGasoline Direct InjectionHomogenous Stoichiometric LeanQuantitative assessment of small-bore gasoline direct injection engine for homogenous stoichiometric lean condition with hydrogen addition in dual fuel modeArticle5714461456WOS:0011670347000012-s2.0-85182736380N/A10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.12.033Q1
