Abstract: In this paper, the optimization of the performance and exhaust emissions of a dual-fuel diesel engine experimented with Palm Oil Methyl Esters (POME) and LPG was carried out using Taguchi Grey Analysis, Regression Analysis, and Adaptive-Neuro Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS). The JAYA algorithm was employed for both regression analysis and ANFIS to find optimal solutions. Initially, tests were performed on the dual-fuel diesel engine with POME as the primary fuel and LPG as the secondary fuel. The experimental results obtained from the engine were used to develop optimization models. The input parameters for the models are brake power, injection pressure and LPG flow rate, while the output parameters consist of brake thermal efficiency (BTE), HC, CO, NOx and smoke emissions. In the first step, Taguchi Grey Analysis was applied to determine the optimized operating parameters that resulted in high BTE and low emissions. The optimal values were found to be at 230 bar injection pressure, 1 LPM LPG flow rate, and 1.3 kW brake power. Subsequently, a regression equation was formulated to predict the optimized parameters, which were further refined using the JAYA algorithm. Finally, an ANFIS model was developed and optimized using the Jaya algorithm to forecast engine performance and emission parameters under dual-fuel operation. The optimized ANFIS model accurately captured the effects of key parameters such as injection pressure, LPG flow rate, and brake power on critical outputs like BTE, HC, CO, NOx, and smoke emissions. The performance assessment showed strong agreement among the forecasted and experimental data, with a high correlation coefficient (R) value of 0.9924, confirming the model’s precision and reliability in predicting engine performance and emissions.
