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.
