Internal Modifications to Optimize Pollution and Emissions of Internal Combustion Engines through Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract: The present work proposes several modifications to optimize both emissions and consumption in a commercial marine diesel engine. A numerical model was carried out to characterize the emissions and consumption of the engine under several performance parameters. Particularly, five internal modifications were analyzed: water addition; exhaust gas recirculation; and modification of the intake valve closing, overlap timing, and cooling water temperature. It was found that the result on the emissions and consumption… Show more

“…There is no exact rule to define the number of hidden layers and hidden nodes, and several methods to determine them can be found in the literature. Generally, a single hidden layer is recommended for most problems, and the multi-layered structure is only recommended for complex problems [35][36][37][38] since adding hidden layers may cause memorizing instead of generalizing [39]. Each input node has an assigned weight and transfer functions related to the nodes.…”

“…The evaluation of complex system schemes often involves many indicators, and the relationship between indicators is also complex. Conventional scheme decision-making methods mainly adopt the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, and the fusion of objective information and subjective information, such as fuzzy optimization method (Xu and Zhao, 2008;Ignatius et al, 2018;Sitorus and Brito-Parada, 2022), grey relational analysis (GRA) (Xia et al, 2016;Tian et al, 2018;Cai et al, 2021), TOPSIS method (Liu and Zhang, 2014;Imam and Gurol, 2018), projection pursuit (PP) (Lan and Huang, 2018;Lee, 2018;Cho and Lee, 2021), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (Wang et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2021;Ye and Chen, 2022) and artificial neural network (Galdo et al, 2021;Yuan et al, 2021;Leng and Huang, 2022). In the decision-making field of reservoir operation schemes, Zhu et al (2017b) used TOPSIS method, fuzzy optimization method and fuzzy matter-element method to rank all feasible flood control alternatives of multi-reservoir system, and the optimization scheme provides support for decision-making.…”
