Abstract

Today, most of the essential energy needs of humans and production are met by fossil fuels that are expected to be exhausted in the next century. Furthermore, fossil fuels are not renewable and sensitive to the environment. In particular, there is growing concerned about the negative impact of internal combustion engine emissions on climate change and global environmental pollution. Fuel and alcohol-based additives are being considered as good candidates for sustainable alternative fuels used on compression ignition engines. In this review, the different key production pathways and properties of each of the five alcohol additive candidates were discussed. Besides, their effects on the emission characteristics of diesel engines when alcohol additives are added to diesel fuel are also carefully considered. Five candidates including methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol have been shown to control pollutants from combustion engines while using alcohol-based additives. This is of great significance in the strategy of coping with the threats of pollution and climate change caused by the operation of transport vehicles

Abstract

In the ongoing search for an alternative fuel for diesel engines, biogas is an attractive option. Biogas can be used in dual-fuel mode with diesel as pilot fuel. This work investigates the modeling of injecting strategies for a waste-derived biogas-powered dual-fuel engine. Engine performance and emissions were projected using supervised machine learning methods including random forest, lasso regression, and support vector machines (SVM). Mean Squared Error (MSE), R-squared (R²), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) were among the criteria used in evaluations of the models. Random Forest has shown better performance for Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) with a test R² of 0.9938 and a low test MAPE of 3.0741%. Random Forest once more exceeded other models with a test R² of 0.9715 and a test MAPE of 4.2242% in estimating Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC). With a test R² of 0.9821 and a test MAPE of 2.5801% Random Forest emerged as the most accurate model according to carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission modeling. Analogous results for the carbon monoxide (CO) prediction model based on Random Forest obtained a test R² of 0.8339 with a test MAPE of 3.6099%. Random Forest outperformed Linear Regression with a test R² of 0.9756% and a test MAPE of 7.2056% in the case of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Random Forest showed the most constant performance overall criteria. This paper emphasizes how well machine learning models especially Random Forest can prognosticate the performance of biogas dual-fuel engines.
