“…ANFIS-based models are powerful universal approximators with interpretable IF-THEN rules utilized in system identification, fuzzy control, and data processing. 31,32 Hosoz et al 33 examined the application of an ANFIS for predicting numerous parameters of a diesel engine that was running on diesel and biodiesel blends. Najafi et al 34 found that the Support vector Machine (SVM) and ANFIS can forecast SI engine performance and emissions.…”

This study aimed to assess the inclusion of antioxidant diphenylamine (DPA) to a Jatropha biodiesel (B30) blend to affects engine performance and exhaust emissions. In this research, three fuel blends has been utilized: diesel, B30, and 100 ppm of antioxidant diphenylamine is added to the B30 blend referred to as B30 + DPA100. A Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has been employed to analyze experimental data, resulting in the development of a regression equation. Additionally, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has been employed to assess and verify the consistency of the developed model. The results from the experiments revealed that the inclusion of the antioxidant had a notable impact on reducing NOx emissions with only a slight effect on brake thermal efficiency (BTHE). Specifically, B30 + DPA100 showed a 7.48 and 15.53% decrease in average NOx emissions, while the average BTHE experienced a modest 0.78% decrease and a 2.67% increase compared to diesel and B30 biodiesel blend, respectively. The Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) of B30 + DPA100 has been found to be 3.91% and 1.3% higher than diesel and B30, respectively. The Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) was 8.68% lower than B30 but 1.49% higher than diesel. Overall, these findings suggest that B30 + DPA100 can be used in diesel engines without modification, offering reduced NOx emissions.

An even‐span greenhouse groundnuts dryer having a reflective north wall has been developed and tested under passive and active modes. The effects of varying sample mass (580, 880, and 1180 g) on the thermal and enviro‐economic performance indicators of the dryer have been investigated. The Nusselt number expression, embodied energy (EE), and capital cost (Cc) were used for thermal, environmental, and economic assessment of the dryer. The drying behavior of the groundnuts samples has also been estimated using the moisture ratio in drying models. Thermal indicators were observed to increase with increased sample mass and were found higher under active mode. The values of EE and Cc of the dryer under passive and active modes were 145.24 and 158.42 kWh, and INR 1257.11 and INR 2157.11, respectively. Enviro‐economic indicators were also observed to improve with increased sample mass and were comparable for both the passive and active modes. The moisture ratio for all the samples shows an excellent fit with the Midilli–Kucuk model. An average Midilli–Kucuk model has been recommended to predict the drying behavior of groundnuts in the developed greenhouse dryer.
