Modeling performance and emission factors of diesel engines using biogas from food waste: Experimental analysis and statistical evaluation Palaniswamy Duraisamy, Ravindran Selladurai, Ramesh Shanmugam, Sivarama Krishna Lakkaboyana Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 2026 This current study focuses on modeling the performance and emission factors of a diesel engine powered by diesel fuel with biogas derived from food waste. The investigation employed a single‐cylinder diesel engine, both with and without superchargers, using well‐established datasets. The analysis utilized an artificial neural network (ANN) system with a feed‐forward backpropagation neural network. The ANN model's input parameters included the percentage blend of diesel and biogas, engine load, inlet air pressure, and air‐fuel ratio. The modeled output parameters comprised specific fuel consumption (SFC), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), indicated thermal efficiency (ITE), mechanical efficiency (ME), indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Experimental results indicated that the supercharged system with a 50% blended biogas yielded a 35% improvement in mechanical efficiency compared to the naturally aspirated system. Moreover, the emission of CO from the supercharged system was significantly lower than that from the naturally aspirated system. Additionally, statistical analyses were conducted to assess the influence of process parameters on engine performance and emission characteristics.
