A computer is provided for a fuel cell propulsion system of a motor vehicle. The computer includes one or more processors receiving a temperature signal from one or more temperature sensors and a pressure signal from one or more pressure sensors. The computer further includes a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions, such that the processor is programmed to determine a feedback correction based on the temperature of the coolant and the pressure drop of the coolant across the fuel cell stack. The processor is further programmed to generate a pump command signal based on the feedback correction and a nominal pump command, with the pump command signal actuating a pump to pump coolant at a target pump speed.

A multi-function fuel delivery system and method of providing fuel delivery is provided that addresses space-related and cost related challenges as well as other challenges by combining a noise attenuating function, a hydrogen heating function, and a fuel supply rail capable of supplying hydrogen to multiple injectors within a single volume where a heat-transfer core utilizes an existing available internal volume of an attenuating volume or a fuel rail of a hydrogen supply manifold. A hydrogen fuel manifold, a hydrogen heat exchanger, and a fuel rail are housed in a single chamber such that a hydrogen fuel heating/cooling function, a hydrogen fuel noise/vibration attenuating function, providing the heat to the heat-transfer core, and providing the noise-attenuated H2 are performed in the single chamber.
