Abstract
The study introduces a framework for optimizing eco-friendly dual-fuel engines, combining CFD and ANN, to reduce carbon emissions and improve sustainable transportation.We achieved optimal performance with a 52–65 % NG substitution ratio. SOI timing had a big effect on NOx emissions; later injection decreased NOx formation because it made the mixture more homogeneous. We developed a radial basis function neural network model to predict engine performance and emissions with 99 % accuracy. The study examines the effect of fuel droplet spraying on cylinder walls on engine performance and emissions, utilizing response surface methodology to create engine maps. Numerical experiments revealed that a lowered natural gas replacement ratio of less than 50 % resulted in decreased flame propagation and the attainment of a burn mixture mode. The decrease in flame propagation speed during CA10 led to a fivefold increase in CO emissions. As the NG substitution ratio exceeded 50 %, the air/fuel ratio neared equilibrium, resulting in a reduction in NOx emissions and in-cylinder combustion temperature. Nevertheless, the highest RoHR level decreased by 25 %. The downward trend proceeded until the natural gas substitution ratio reached to 90 %. The TOPSIS method was utilized to identify optimal operating conditions for DFDI engines, offering valuable insights for efficiency and emissions reduction.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
