Abstract |
|
In current automobile sector, the weight of the vehicle is too important to increase the efficiency of the vehicle. There are too many component or subassemblies are in the automobile vehicle. In this paper the weight of the HYDROGEN fuel tank is optimized by applying the composite material concept with the existing material of the fuel tank. Initially the dimensional calculation for the existing pressure vessel and compare with the existing cylinder and then the FEA ( Finite Element Analysis) applied on the cylinder and material optimize up to the stress reaching equivalent to the stress of the existing cylinder. After that the dimension of the cylinder are finalize. The analysis yields a weight reduction of fuel tank. |
