Received June 5, 2012 / Accepted September 9, 2012 / Published January 8, 2013. Abstract: Since the creation of the first automobile in the 19th century, internal combustion engines have largely evolved to become more efficient, less polluting, while having a limited consumption. Hydrogen production, energy carrier, from environmentally friendly sources and consumption in new energy systems is one of the answers to the current problems, for this reason, the study examines the conversion of a ignition engine with dual petrol hydrogen. The work focuses on the changes to the intake manifold at the end of its geometry to improve engine performance. Key words: bi-fuelled engine gasoline-hydrogen, natural overeating, manifold

1. Introduction The thermal engines essentially provides training and transportation fuel [3],[9] to the combustion chamber where it burns to give birth to the thermal heat witch the originally received work on the crankshaft [4], [5], [6]. Before arriving in the cylinders, fresh air crosses several restrictions formed by various engine components: air filter, carburetor, the motorized butterfly, intake manifold, intake pipe and intake valve [5], [6]. Diet is an important factor that can significantly influence the performance of engines especially the intake manifold [7], whose geometry must be carefully chosen while interpolating between the nature of the fuel and the operating speed of the engine.

2. Formation and transport of the mixture

atmospheric pressure in the reservoir (for gasoline and diesel) or it is stored under pressure (for gases: LPG, Hydrogen).The amount should be introduced in relation to the air mass in which it will be mixed with the relationship defined stoichiometry. The dosage takes place at the carburetors while respecting stoichiometry issued to ensure proper combustion Elemental analysis provides quantitative fuel mass content of carbon, hydrogen and optionally oxygen, so it can write the overall formula (CxHyOz).

2.2 Transport of the mixture The fresh gas circuit behaves essentially five major modules for the preparation of the fuel, they defined the coefficient of the engine permeability (the rate of gas admitted). The intake system can be represented by the following diagram:

To model the pressure in the intake manifold (Fig.2), representing the most frequently used is that of modeling the intake manifold as a reservoir containing a gas mixture considered perfect. The pressure which reigns in the intake manifold can be written as the following form [5] [6]: ncyl    T col  m pap   mcyli   pcol Tcol i 1  

6. Conclusions Bi-fuel hydrogen-gasoline seems an effective solution to deal with problems relating to fuel supplies, economic and environmental ones but bi should ensure good performance for engines. One of the modules has a great influence on these benefits is the power system. The choice of a new geometry that takes advantage of the existence of acoustic waves which have a propagative is a solution that provides a natural boost in addition to the improvement of the filling. To achieve a better fill rate, using the impedance method and while setting the engine speed to the value corresponding to the maximum torque and equivalence ratio unit, it was verified that the collector current of the engine does not good filling of the cylinders. Then we designed a new one that takes advantage of the natural charge which is managed by the propagation acoustic wave pressure. Then we checked the choice of this solution for a new intake manifold using the COSMOS Flow simulation. The intake manifold is selected so dimensioned that the filling is better. Also with this solution can reduce the amount of fuel remaining in the intake pipe and the problems back-fire and auto-ignition in can be reduced in the case of operation with hydrogen.

Acknowledgments We recall that the modifications to the collector are not a total solution for operating the engine with hydrogen there are still many problems to be solved, such as: - Hydrogen is very sensitive to the auto ignition and flashback to the intake manifold and study necessary to avoid this effect. - The combustion chamber is about six times faster than that of gasoline; a precise adjustment of the motor is required. - The materials constituting the power system must be selected resistant to hydrogen, in particular to avoid the risk of corrosion cracking and leakage problems.
