“…Here, the number of hidden layers was fixed to two, whereas, for every hidden layer, neurons are varied to observe the better network architecture, in which the number of epochs at which the feasible outcomes are achieved is 1500 (based on validation). Load depicted on the engine (L), volume % of diesel oil (D), volume % of PPME or CIME (P/C), and volume % of n-butanol (A) were chosen as inputs, and required exhaust gases are treated as targets [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Figure 15 shows the flow process of ANN.…”

“…Subsequently, it can be proved that the RSM models are fitted suitably for predicting performance and emissions of the test rig. In another study, Safieddin Ardebili et al [18] employed a study of multiobjective optimization with RSM technique. Feasible operating conditions have been examined for various blends of fusel oil mixed with nanobiochar additive.…”

The exhaustive nature of petroleum products triggers the obstacles of scarcity, economic imbalance, and environmental depletion. It is difficult to avoid their usage all of a sudden and switch to clean electric prime movers. Under all these circumstances, the researchers may initiate their investigations on alternative fuels for preeminent solution. The present study covers the performance and emissions of a single cylinder, four-stroke, diesel engine fueled with Pongamia pinnata and Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesels added with n-butanol additive at various proportions. In this investigation, the piston has been coated with ceramic material with a thickness of 200 µm topcoat. The blends have been tested at 1500 rpm speed and rated compression ratio of 17.5 : 1 at various operating loads. A comparative result analysis has been made on the engine parameters operated by diesel and showed that mechanical efficiency gradually increases with a percentile increment of n-butanol in the blend. Moreover, emissions such as CO, CO2, NOx, and opacity were found to be reduced for the samples having high amount of n-butanol, whereas HC emissions slightly increased. In addition, all the exhaust gases have been predicted by using second-order polynomial equations generated and artificial Intelligence technique, and the comparative analysis has been made. It has been identified that ANN showed an average accuracy of prediction superior than regression analysis.

Engine emissions have become one of the major problems of the world today. Therefore, researchers need to find ways to reduce engine emissions. There are many available methods to reduce emissions or improve engine performance such as using an alternative engine or using alternative fuels. The simplest method is by introducing additives to the currently used fuel and engines. Nanoparticles of zinc oxide, titanium oxide, aluminium oxide, and cerium oxide are among the popular additives used by researchers. The results from the research have been very positive, as it successfully reduced engine emissions. However, there are concerns about the toxicity of the emissions that exposed hazards to human health. A few researchers introduced carbon-based nanomaterials as an additive to improve engine performance and reduce engine emissions. The use of carbon-based nanomaterials is very promising since it poses little to no effect on human health. Graphene is a carbon-based nanomaterial used as an additive in this study. This study aimed to forecast the effects of graphene nanoplatelets’ addition to engine performance. The study used torque, power, brake-specific fuel consumption, and brake thermal efficiency as performance parameters. The prediction models consider speed, load, and blend concentration in the calculation. A full-quadratic model with help of Minitab software is used to develop the prediction model. The model is then presented in surface plot and contour plot. The results show that the prediction model agrees with the experimental data with ±10% accuracy. In conclusion, the RSM model of graphene nanoplatelets’ effects on diesel engine performance is producible using full quadratic calculation.

“…Though many alternative fuels have been suggested by different researchers to be used in SI engine [8,[11][12][13][14], petroleum based fuel is the most dominant. Hence, focusing on the utilization of high fuel quality to enhance the fuel combustion efficiency is a viable option to face the energy crises challenge and global warming [15].…”

“…Light naphtha is composed of pentane and slightly heavier material. It is produced from crude oil distillation or natural gas liquid (NGLs) separation and, in this case, called natural gasoline or pentanes plus [12,19,[25][26][27]. Light naphtha is often blended directly with gasoline in the refinery up to 5% blending ratio due to its low octane number and relatively high vapour pressure, which limits utilization at a higher percentage [19].…”

Fuel quality is an important indicator for the suitability of alternative fuel for the utilization in internal combustion (IC) engines. In this paper, light naphtha and fusel oil have been introduced as fuel additives for local low octane gasoline to operate a spark ignition (SI) engine. Investigated fuel samples have been prepared based on volume and denoted as GN10 (90% local gasoline and 10% naphtha), GF10 (90% local gasoline and 10% fusel oil), and GN5F5 (90% local gasoline, 5% naphtha and 5% fusel oil) in addition to G100 (Pure local gasoline). Engine tests have been conducted to evaluate engine performance and exhaust emissions at increasing speed and constant wide throttle opening (WTO). The study results reveal varying engine performance obtained with GN10 and GF10 with increasing engine speed compared to local gasoline fuel (G). Moreover, GN5F5 shows higher brake power, lower brake specific fuel consumption, and higher brake thermal efficiency compared to other investigated fuel samples over the whole engine speed. The higher CO and CO2 emissions were obtained with GN10 and GF10, respectively, over the entire engine speed and the minimum CO emissions observed with GN5F5. Moreover, the higher NOx emission was observed with pure local gasoline while the lowest was observed with GF10. On the other hand, GN5F5 shows slightly higher NOx emissions than GF10, which is lower than GN10 and gasoline. Accordingly, GN5F5 shows better engine performance and exhaust emissions, which can enhance the local low gasoline fuel quality using the locally available fuel additives.
