Abstract

This study mathematically inspects the effects of engine speed/load and biodiesel–hydrogen fuel blend composition on CO2, CO, and NOx emissions. Since this modeling task requires a basic knowledge of mechanics, chemistry, and combustion, the literature suggests no approach to anticipate these emissions. This multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) problem is so complex that can only be simulated by special types of machine-learning tools. Consequently, this study utilizes the multi-output least-squares support vector regression (MLS-SVR) and two efficient artificial neural networks (cascade feedforward and multilayer perceptron) to handle this complicated MIMO regression. These intelligent models are constructed and tested using 307 × 3 experimental emissions related to the combustion of different biodiesel–hydrogen blends at various engine speeds and loads. Extensive numerical analyses and ranking tests are conducted to confirm that MLS-SVR is the best approach to simultaneously predict the actual CO2, CO, and NOx emissions with the mean absolute relative error of 2.75%, 7.00%, and 2.62%, and regression coefficient of 0.9966, 0.9947, and 0.9979, respectively. The applicability domain inspection approves that only seven emission measurements may be problematic samples and all other 300 samples are reliable.
