Abstract

Because of strict emission regulations, significant efforts are made by researchers to reduce the pollutants from internal combustion engines. Homogeneous mixture of fuel and air in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine results in lower amounts of thermal NOx while CO and HC emissions would be higher in this process. Besides, performance instability due to knock and misfire is another problem that HCCI engines are facing. In this paper, machine learning tools have been implemented to learn the behavior of a single-cylinder engine using three different fuels with the HCCI strategy. Changes in six objective functions with engine Inlet Valve Closing (IVC) temperature and air-fuel equivalence ratio are studied with the help of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Those objective functions are thermal efficiency, combustion efficiency, IMEP, together with NOx, CO, and HC emissions. A multi-objective optimization algorithm based on a decomposition method and genetic algorithm is used to identify the best operating condition of studied fuels. Results show that HCCI engine fueled with Ethanol and Methanol could produce significantly lower HC and CO emissions at their optimum point. However, the produced NOx would be higher in these cases comparing to the engine fueled with CNG. The genetic algorithm indicates that the optimum point of operation for CNG-fueled engine is TIVC ≈ 445 K while λ ≈ 2.25. In contrast, for the Ethanol-fueled case, this optimum point is located in the IVC temperature of ≈450 K and λ ≈ 2.75. The TOPSIS point is located in minimum air-fuel equivalence ratio and lower IVC temperatures (TIVC ≈ 420 K) when the engine is being operated with Methanol as fuel.
