Experimental Study And Analysis Of The Internal Combustion Engine Repair Performance And Sustainability, Using Artificial Neural Network Approach (a Case Study Of Caritas University)

Abstract

The Caritas University Amorji Nike Internal Combustion Engine testbed system has not functionied in the past five years.The rehabilitation of the Internal Combustion Engine is for optimal performance of the Engine for laboratory determination of both speed,brake power and torque values.The Purpose of rehabilitation and Optimization of Engine performance is  to  maximize the energy extracted from the fuel by ensuring complete and efficient combustion.The importance of this project is to ensure  efficient combustion and reduced fuel consumption.This paper established; optimal air fuel ratio (AFR), the Engine performance and reduced emissions by adopting the Artificial Neural Network approach, for complete analysis of the rehabilitation process.The rehabilitation process involved the servicing of the combustion chamber, the cooling radiator installation and  extension of the exhaust system.The analysis of the work carried out, using the Artificial Neural Network ensured the optimal performance of the Internal Combustion Engine.Internal combustion engines are a crucial component of modern transportation systems, but their repair and maintenance pose significant technical and environmental challenges. This research focuses on developing optimized repair techniques for internal combustion engine to improve their performance, reduce emissions, and enhance sustainability. A comprehensive analysis of existing repair methods is conducted, identifying key areas for improvement. Novel repair strategies are then proposed, incorporating advanced materials, coatings, and machining techniques. Experimental validation of the optimized repair techniques demonstrates significant improvements in engine efficiency, power output, and emissions reduction. The results of this research contribute to the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly internal combustion engine repair practices, supporting the transition towards a more circular and low-carbon transportation sector.
