Programming and flow control of fuel cells applied in internal combustion engines

Abstract

This paper aims to create a flow control system of motor fuel-powered internal combustion for this purpose the project is based on the development of an electronic injection system incorporated by control devices, sensors and actuators as means main programming and receiving data is used a micro Arduino controller as data interface and a PC Personal joint Co associated with LabVIEW main processor and supervisory system element. In order to reduce the consumption of liquid fuel (petrol, alcohol, etc.) will be performed the control and treatment hydrogen gas flow embodying feasibility and efficiency related to the use of fuel cells for automotive vehicles. For achieving the desired effects will be developed appropriate programming to the controller device used where variables are captured, manipulated and returned in a controlled way the system should work stably. So it will be designed and developed a flow control system that will aim the joint dosing liquid and gaseous fuels in engines, controlled, treated and automatically, with the programming parameters the proper and efficient operation of the engine thus providing conclusions on the use of hydrogen fuel cells. The paper aims at the application of theoretical concepts studied, demonstrating the assembly and the methods used for the experiment proposed and the results obtained with the system built.
