Abstract

Machine learning technology can distinguish the relationship between engine characteristics and performances. Therefore, the goal of the present work is to predict the performance parameters of a single-cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine at different ignition timings using a blended mixture of gasoline and bioethanol by an artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental data for training and testing in the proposed ANN was obtained at a dynamic speed and full load condition. An ANN model was developed based on standard Back-Propagation algorithm for the spark ignition engine. Multi-layer perception network (MLP) was used for non-linear mapping between the input and output parameters. An optimizer in the family of quasi-Newton methods (lbfgs) and the rectified linear unit function were used to assess the percentage error between the desired and the predicted values. The network input parameters are engine speed, fuel, and ignition timing. Furthermore, torque, power, specific fuel consumption (SFC), thermal efficiency (ηth), and energy consumption (EC) are taken as output parameters. The results show that ANN is the proper method for predicting SIE performance because it has accurate prediction results that are very similar to experimental results. Moreover, from the observation results, the ANN model can predict the engine performance quite well with correlation coefficient (R)=0.962139 and MSE=0.003967 for data testing.

Abstract

As the world population continues to grow, the demand for clean water is increasing daily, making it a crucial resource to access. However, there are ways to harness abundant resources like solar energy and seawater to produce clean water. The present studies have conducted experimental investigations to convert seawater into freshwater using solar stills, where solar energy is utilized as the primary heat source for evaporation. The temperature distribution inside the solar stills was analyzed using a flat plate made of three different materials: copper, stainless steel, and aluminum. To examine the temperature distribution and performance of the solar stills, researchers employed computational fluid dynamics simulations (Ansys R15.0). The results showed variations in temperature distribution among the three plate materials. Copper flat plates achieved the highest temperature, approximately 44.5 Celsius, followed by aluminum at 43.91 Celsius, while stainless steel exhibited the lowest temperature at around 42.01 Celsius. The average heat flux across the three materials was approximately 581 W/m2. Additionally, observations indicated that the amount of convection occurring in copper flat plates was 121.108 Watts; in aluminum, it was 118.517 Watts; and in stainless steel, it was 105.05 Watts. The radiation energy for stainless steel flat plates was 29.93 W; for copper, 16.14 W; and for aluminum, 13.49 W.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the combustion characteristics of coconut oil as an alternative fuel by adding active bio-carbon catalysts from areca nut skin. 1-3 ppm catalysts reduce viscosity, so the fuel quickly absorbs heat and ignites. This study uses the www droplet ignition method to increase the contact area between air and fuel so that the reactivity of fuel molecules increases. The results showed that adding areca nut skin-activated carbon catalysts improved fuel performance, whereas coconut oil fuel can absorb heat and release energy quickly. This was clarified from the results of the TGA test, where when compared with a mixture of 1 to 3 ppm, it was seen that the mix of coconut oil with a two ppm catalyst was the most effective because it had a high temperature with a stable heat flow. These results indicate that activated carbon from areca nut skin has excellent potential to be used as a biocatalyst for environmentally friendly and economical vegetable oil.

Abstract

Fuel derived from crude vegetable oil, such as coconut oil, holds promise as an alternative energy source to mitigate the increasing reliance on fossil fuels driven by population growth and industrial activities. The experiment involved suspending a single droplet of crude coconut oil mixed with activated carbon from areca shell waste and placed at the junction on R-type thermocouple (Pt/Pt-Rh13%). The droplets were ignited using a hot wire and subjected to atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Coconut oil comprises a saturated triglyceride carbon chain compound of approximately 91%, and areca shell waste possesses a porous structure that fosters favorable interactions between fuel molecules. The droplet combustion method was selected to streamline the process and enhance the contact area between air and fuel, thereby boosting the reactivity of fuel molecules. The research found that adding activated carbon shortens the carbon chain, making it more reactive and easier for the fuel to ignite. Specifically, activated carbon significantly enhances fuel performance at a concentration of two parts per million (ppm). At this level, the fuel absorbs heat more effectively and ignites faster compared to one ppm and three ppm levels. Moreover, the results show that heat absorption occurs slowly at one ppm, while at three ppm, the increased molecular mass of the fuel can strengthen carbon-bonding forces. These factors contribute to a longer ignition time for the fuel. The findings suggest that the activated carbon from areca shell waste can play a good role as a combustion catalyst, where overall, fuel performance increases.

Abstract

Biomass gasification is a promising renewable energy technology for the production of synthetic gas (syngas), consisting of hydrogen (H₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH₄). This technology's primary challenge is tar formation – a heavy hydrocarbon compound that can block equipment, poison catalysts, and deteriorate syngas quality. Therefore, this study aimed to examine different tar reduction methods to support clean energy production through biomass gasification. To achieve this aim, two main approaches were adopted and the first was in-situ, focusing on modifying gasifier design and adjusting operational parameters. The second was ex-situ, which included catalytic reforming, thermal cracking, and plasma technology. The analysis also assessed different catalysts, such as biochar, and dolomite, as well as nickel- and iron-based materials, comparing their efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability. Several key factors influenced tar formation and reduction, namely feedstock type, operating temperature, air ratio, and reactor configuration. The result showed that combining in-situ and ex-situ technologies had substantial potential to significantly reduce tar, improve syngas quality, and optimize system performance. However, some challenges observed were reduced catalyst efficiency, high energy costs, and the need for more sustainable technologies. To improve the performance of gasification systems, this study provided information on catalyst development, operational parameter optimization, and plasma technology integration. Finally, the analysis provided a scientific basis and strategic recommendations to overcome tar problems and encourage the commercial use of biomass gasification towards a clean energy transition.

Abstract

Continuous exploitation of fossil fuels causes scarcity, so appropriate solutions and policies are needed. One of these solutions is to utilize vegetable oil, and one of them comes from sunflower seed oil, which contains 17% oleic fatty acid and around 73% linoleic. However, its high viscosity, making it difficult to burn, hampers its use as an alternative fuel. Therefore, efforts are made to reduce its viscosity. One of these efforts is to add a catalyst in the form of active nano bio carbons derived from areca nut skin. Droplet combustion is chosen to increase the contact area between air and fuel so that the reactivity of fuel molecules increases. The study's results showed that the quality of fuel produced from a mixture of sunflower seed oil and active nano biocarbon from areca nut skin was improved. It was found that a concentration of 1 ppm was the best compared to other concentrations (2 and 3 ppm). It can be seen that it was able to reduce the viscosity of sunflower seed oil to 11.16 cSt, reduce the flash point at 138°C, and can increase the droplet combustion rate by around 2.05 seconds.
