The present study utilized response surface methodology (RSM) and Bayesian neural network (BNN) to predict the characteristics of a diesel engine powered by a blend of biodiesel and diesel fuel. The biodiesel was produced from waste cooking oil using a biocatalyst synthesized from vegetable waste through the wet impregnation technique. A multilevel central composite design was utilized to predict engine characteristics, including brake thermal efficiency (BTE), nitric oxide (NO), unburned hydrocarbons (UBHC), smoke emissions, heat release rate (HRR), and cylinder peak pressure (CGPP). BNN and the logistic–sigmoid activation function were used to train the experimental data in the artificial neural network (ANN) model, and the errors and correlations of the predicted models were calculated. The study revealed that the biocatalyst was capable of producing a maximum yield of 93% at 55 °C under specific reaction conditions, namely a reaction time of 120 min, a stirrer speed of 900 rpm, a catalyst loading of 7 wt.%, and a molar ratio of 1:9. Further, the ANN model was found to exhibit comparably lower prediction errors (0.001–0.0024), lower MAPE errors (3.14–4.6%), and a strong correlation (0.984–0.998) compared to the RSM model. B100-80%-20% was discovered to be the best formulation for emission property, while B100-90%-10% was the best mix for engine performance and combustion at 100% load. In conclusion, this study found that utilizing the synthesized biocatalyst led to attaining a maximum biodiesel yield. Furthermore, the study recommends using ANN and RSM techniques for accurately predicting the characteristics of a diesel engine.

Petroleum diesel prices have been increased every day due to continuous usage in automobile industries and agricultural vehicles as well as depletion of fossil fuels and industrialization. Diesel engines emit undesirable emissions which are harmful to human beings and create environmental pollution and global warming. The scarcity of traditional fossil fuels and the increased pollution produced by fossil fuel combustion requires a new alternative sustainable biofuel for the CI engine. Biodiesel has been utilized as a sustainable alternative fuel for diesel engines for many years, due to its fuel properties, availability, and cost of the feedstock. Biodiesel is synthesized from different feedstock through the transesterification process using a homogeneous catalyst. Despite the good reaction rate and biodiesel yield, it could not recover and reuse the catalyst for further reaction. Therefore, it increased the biodiesel production cost. As a result, this chapter has comprehensively discussed the various heterogeneous catalysts, bio-catalyst synthesis, and characterization for biodiesel production. In addition, different feedstock for biodiesel production and also different production techniques such as microwave-assisted transesterification and ultrasonic-assisted transesterification are discussed in this chapter.
