ANN modeling for forecasting of VCR engine performance and emission parameters fuelled with green diesel extracted from waste biomass resources.

In this research work, the experimental tests were conducted on a single-cylinder, constant speed, variable compression ratio (VCR) engine fuelled with green diesel. Initially, bio-oil was extracted from waste Trichosanthes cucumerina fruit seeds using the Soxhlet apparatus. The acquired bio-oil is used to make green diesel through the trans-esterification process.
