The present study surveys the effects on performance and emission parameters of a partially modified single cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine fueled with diesohol blends under varying compressed natural gas (CNG) flowrates in dual fuel mode. Based on experimental data, an artificial intelligence (AI) specialized artificial neural network (ANN) model have been developed for predicting the output parameters, viz. brake thermal efficiency (Bth), brake-specific energy consumption (BSEC) along with emission characteristics such as oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbon (UBHC), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Engine load, Ethanol share, and CNG strategies have been used as input parameters for the model. Among the tested models, the Levenberg–Marquardt feed-forward back propagation with three input neurons or nodes, two hidden layers with ten neurons in each layer and six output neurons, and tansig-purelin activation function have been found to the optimal model topology for the diesohol–CNG platforms. The statistical results acquired from the optimal network topology such as correlation coefficient (0.992–0.999), mean square error (MSE) (0.0001–0.0009), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) (0.09–2.41%) along with Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency (NSE), Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE), mean square relative error, and model uncertainty established itself as a real-time robust type machine learning tool under diesohol–CNG paradigms. The study also incorporated a special type of measure, namely Pearson's Chi-square test or goodness of fit, which brings up the model validation to a higher level.

Partial Oxidation Reforming

Facing the reinforced emission regulations and moving toward a clean powertrain, hydrogen has become one of the alternative fuels for the internal combustion engine. In this study, the prediction methodology of hydrogen yield by on-board fuel reforming under a diesel engine is introduced. An engine dynamometer test was performed, resulting in reduced particulate matter (PM) and NOx emission with an on-board reformer. Based on test results, the reformed gas production rate from the on-board reformer was trained and predicted using an artificial neural network with a backpropagation process at various operating conditions. Additional test points were used to verify predicted results, and sensitivity analysis was performed to obtain dominant parameters. As a result, the temperature at the reformer outlet and oxygen concentration is the most dominant parameters to predict reformed gas owing to auto-thermal reforming driven by partial oxidation reforming process, dominantly.
