A Numerical Methodology to Test the Lubricant Oil Evaporation and Its Thermal Management-Related Properties Derating in Hydrogen-Fueled Engines

Due to the incoming phase out of fossil fuels from the market in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the automotive sector, hydrogen-fueled engines are candidate mid-term solution. Thanks to its properties, hydrogen promotes flames that poorly suffer from the quenching effects toward the engine walls. Thus, emphasis must be posed on the heat-up of the oil layer that wets the cylinder liner in…
