Abstract
The efficiency of bio-blends made from seeds for medium-duty urban commercial vehicles is the subject of a study whose results are presented in this article. The analysis took into account a number of variables, such as engine specifications, economic consequences, and production capacity. An artificial intelligence algorithm was trained to predict emission characteristics, combustion, and performance using experimental data. The findings showed that while brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased at full load, brake thermal efficiency (BTE) dropped for both diesel and bio-fuel combinations as engine speed increased. In particular, there was an 11.9% increase in BSFC when diesel was used instead of mixtures of biofuel and diesel. The bio fuel-diesel blends also reduced maximum cylinder pressure and NOx emissions, with maximum reductions of 9.8% and 22.2% at specific RPMs, respectively. Additionally, these blends significantly decreased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and smoke. Overall, biofuel blends provide substantial benefits by reducing exhaust pollutants and improving engine efficiency.
