In the present research work, a neural network model has been developed to predict the exhaust emissions and performance of a compression ignition engine. The significance and novelty of the work, with respect to existing literature, is the application of sensitivity analysis and an artificial neural network (ANN) simultaneously in order to predict the engine parameters. The inputs of the model were engine load (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%), engine speed (1700, 2100, 2500 and 2900 rpm) and the percent of biodiesel fuel derived from waste cooking oil in diesel fuel (B0, B5, B10, B15 and B20). The relationship between the input parameters and engine cylinder performance and emissions can be determined by the network. The global sensitivity analysis results show that all the investigated factors are effective on the created model and cannot be ignored. In addition, it is found that the most emissions decreased while using biodiesel fuel in the compression ignition engine.

As the machine learning algorithms evolve, there is a growing need of how to train the algorithm effectively for the large data with available resources in practically less time. The paper presents an idea of developing an effective model that focuses on the implementation of sequential sensitivity analysis and randomized training approach which can be one solution to this growing need. Many researchers focused on the implementation of sensitivity analysis to eliminate the insignificant features ands reduce the complexity in data selection. These sensitivity analysis methods relatively take a large time for validation through modeling and hence found impractical for large data. On the other hand, the randomized training approach was found to be the most popular approach for training the data but there is a very brief explanation available in research articles on how this training method is meaningful in getting higher accuracy. The current work focuses on the use of sequential sensitivity analysis and randomized training in an artificial neural network (ANN) for high dimensionality thermal power plant data. The sequential sensitivity analysis (SSA) technique includes the use of correlation analysis (CA), Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Akaike information criterion (AIC) in a sequential manner to reduce the validation time for all possible feature combinations. Only selected combinations are then tested against different training methods such as downward extrapolation, upward extrapolation, interpolation and randomized training in ANN. The paper also focuses on suggesting the significance of training with randomized training with comparison-based qualitative reasoning. The statistical parameters, mean square error (RMSE), Mean absolute relative difference (MARD) and R Square (R^2)were accessed for validation purposes. The research work mainly useful in the field of Ecommerce, Finance, industry and in facilities where large data is generated.

The paper presents an application of artificial neural network in modelling the working process in compression ignition engine. In order to determine the usefulness of proposed method the optimisation task has been formulated. The aim of optimisation process was to find the engine control parameters which enable reduction of the NOx emission. In order to solve the problem, the model equations has to be integrated for values of control parameters whose are given as output from the neural networks implemented.
