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.
