Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Internal combustion engines play a crucial role in transportation and agriculture, yet diesel-powered heavy and medium duty freight vehicles are significant sources of CO 2 and other exhaust emissions. Retrofitting existing diesel engines to dual-fuel systems is a promising solution to reduce these emissions. Among various dual-fuel configurations, the hydrogen/diesel dual-fuel (HDDF) engine with port injection is particularly effective in lowering exhaust emissions with minimal modifications to the engine. A detailed emissions analysis of an HDDF engine controlled by a data-driven predictive controller is presented. This controller tracks a transient load profile and optimizes diesel and hydrogen injections while respecting engine durability constraints. A comparison with 100% diesel engine operation reveals that the HDDF engine reduced carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions by 57%, 75%, and 37%, and particulate matter (PM) emission of the HDDF is one seventh of the diesel. Despite these benefits, one challenge is elevated nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions at high loads due to the hot flame temperature. A k -means clustering method was utilized to categorize key parameters — indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), NO x , PM , and hydrogen energy share (HES) — into three groups: low, medium, and high. Results indicated that maintaining the same NO x and PM levels for increasing load required engine operation adjustments of: increasing diesel injection timing, reducing HES to adjust NO x level, and increasing both HES and diesel start of pre-injection to adjust PM level. The data-driven predictive controller and its cost function are used to set this balance between hydrogen and diesel injections.

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.
