Biodiesel production from tomato seed and its engine emission test and simulation using Artificial Neural Network
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, tomato seed oil was used to produce Biodiesel fuel. To reduce the percentage of free fatty acids, the oil was reacted at a temperature of 40, 50, and 60°C with a mixture of sulphuric acid and the industrial methanol with different molar ratios of oil. The best conversion efficiency was achieved at 60°C and a molar ratio of 1:9. In the transesterification step, biodiesel was produced using a mixture of potassium hydroxide reactivity. Then, functional characteristics and pollutant gases of ordinary diesel fuel and mixtures of biodiesel at different speeds and loads were measured and compared. The tests were carried out in a 9-kV direct injection (DI) diesel engine. The results of analysis of variance by SPSS software showed that there was a significant difference in the level of R< 0.01 between the production of pollutants such as NOx, CO, HC, and other fume gases like CO2 and O2 at different speeds and loads. Duncan’s multiple range test results also showed that the lowest emissions were generated from the B20 blend. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model which was used to predict the emission of the engine showed an excellent conformity with R-values of 0.99 for both the training and test data.

Diesel engine performance and exhaust emission analysis using waste cooking biodiesel fuel with an artificial neural network
This study deals with artificial neural network (ANN) modeling a diesel engine using waste cooking biodiesel fuel to predict the brake power, torque, specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of engine. To acquire data for training and testing the proposed ANN, two cylinders, four-stroke diesel engine was fuelled with waste vegetable cooking biodiesel and diesel fuel blends and operated a...
full textSimulation of Small Diesel Engine Vibration using Artificial Neural Network
The use of bio-ethanol as an alternative diesel engine fuel is increasing rapidly. Bioethanol is mixed with diesel fuel in different ratios and used in CI and SI engines. Vibrations have direct effects on engine components and users when the engine is operated on a vehicle. For this reason, analysis of vibration resulting from combustion in IC engines is very important. In this study, evaluatio...
full textUsing Artificial Neural Network for Estimation of Density and Viscosities of Biodiesel–Diesel Blends
In recent years, biodiesel has been considered as a good alternative of diesel fuels. Density and viscosity are two important properties of these fuels. In this study, density and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel-diesel blends were estimated by using artificial neural network (ANN). A three-layer feed forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm was used for learning empirical ...
