Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Energy plays a key role in the socioeconomic development of society, and most of its global demand is provided by conventional resources (e.g., fossil fuels). Utilizing renewable energy is significantly growing since it can meet global energy demand while minimizing the adverse impacts of carbon emissions on climate change. Biomass is an appealing option among the emerging alternatives (e.g., wind and solar). Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis process, and this research aims to analyze the torrefaction process of lignocellulosic biomass. The methodology proposed involves employing hybrid models of artificial neural network-particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and coupled simulated annealing-least-squares support vector machine (CSA-LSSVM). In addition to the machine learning algorithms, a correlation is developed using gene expression programming (GEP) to interrelate the biomass properties, including moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash, sample size, and the contents of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen along with the process operating condition encompassing residence time, temperature, and the concentration of CO2, O2, and N2 to the solid yield as the target variable. The results reveal that the CSA-LSSVM model has the highest accuracy, and the statistical metrics of the coefficient of determination (R2), mean square error (MSE), and average absolute relative error percentage (AARE%) are 0.98, 0.00082, and 2.61%, respectively. The parametric sensitivity analysis demonstrates the residence time, temperature, and moisture content as the most influential variables, with temperature playing the most crucial role in the torrefaction process of lignocellulosic biomass. The findings and the developed models can be used to assess similar biomass torrefaction, providing the required knowledge for the modeling and optimization of the process. Hence, the bioenergy industry can be developed with optimal operating conditions, including cost and energy, and lessen the negative impacts of CO2 emission.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
