摘要

This study investigates the synergistic effects of 1-pentanol, copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (80 ppm), and hydrogen enrichment (10 lpm) on the performance and emission characteristics of a CRDI diesel engine. Test fuels included D100 (pure diesel), D90P10 (90% diesel + 10% 1-pentanol), D80P20 (80% diesel + 20% 1-pentanol), D100CuO, D90P10CuOH2, and D80P20CuOH2. Experiments are conducted across engine speeds ranging from 1500 to 2800 rpm. The D90P10CuOH2 blend achieved a peak torque of 24.6 N·m at 1800 rpm, marking a 5.96% increase over base D80P20. The D100CuO blend exhibited the highest brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of 24.8%, while the D80P20CuOH2 blend recorded the lowest brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of 336 g/kWh. Emission analysis revealed CO reduction from 3.1 to 1.45 g/kWh (a 53% decrease) and CO₂ reduction from 270 to 225 g/kWh at lower speeds for hydrogen–nanoparticle-enhanced blends. However, NOₓ emissions slightly increased from 1.41 to 3.43 g/kWh due to elevated combustion temperatures induced by hydrogen addition. The study also employed artificial neural network (ANN) models, achieving high predictive accuracy with R values exceeding 0.99 and a minimum mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.49% for BTE. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of integrating CuO nanoparticles and hydrogen in alcohol diesel blends to boost engine performance and reduce emissions, presenting a viable pathway for cleaner and more efficient fuel strategies in compression ignition engines.
