Prediction of diesel engine performance, emissions and cylinder pressure obtained using bioethanol-biodiesel-diesel fuel blends through an artificial neural network

The changes in the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of bioethanol-safflower biodiesel and diesel fuel blends used in a common rail diesel engine were investigated in this experimental study. E20B20D60 (20% bioethanol, 20% biodiesel, 60% diesel fuel by volume), E30B20D50, E50B20D3...
