1. Introduction

Since the consumption of fossil fuels is increasing there is needfor alternative fuels in order to fulfill the requirements [1e4]. Thealternative fuels should be cost effective and energy sustainable.Biodiesel is one of the most known alternative fuels. However, theproduction of biodiesel depends on the accessibility of feedstuffs

where oils represent the important role. To improve the efficiencyof the biodiesel engines there is need for the more comprehensiveanalysis [5e8].

Biodiesel is one of the most known alternative fuel which iscreated from biomass wastes by trans-esterification of triglyceridesinto fatty acid methyl esters or FAME. The biodiesel could representthe solution to the fossil fuel crisis and to decrease global warming[9e11]. Production of the biodiesel is based mostly from wastecooking oils or lipids from microorganisms. However, productioncost of biodiesel up to 70% because of the cost of edible oilsincreased. Hence production of biodiesel from microbial lipidsrepresents the alternative for the sustainable biodiesel production.

The high demand for the use of petroleum products has pushedcurrent research into environmentally friendly fuels suited fordiesel engine performance [12e15]. In investigation [16], jojobabiodiesel-diesel bends were fueled to a four-stroke single cylindercompression ignition engine at compression ratio of 17.5 to un-derstand its emission and performance phenomenon and the per-formance parameters includes brake thermal efficiency, brakespecific fuel consumption and emission parameters includes un-burned hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen andsmoke were assessed. Green Fe3O4 NPs were generated from dis-carded Ziziphus mauritiana seeds in study [17], and these NPs wereused to improve the jojoba methyl ester blend characteristics. Thehigh viscosity, poor volatility, and significant NOx production ofJojoba oil in CI engines are the primary problems [18]. A study [19]looked at the performance and emissions of a direct injection dieselengine running on diesel-jojoba-butanol mixes. In the recent de-cades, Jojoba biodiesel is considered as one of the most potentialrenewable energy sources of many countries hence there wasinvestigation conducted for the enhancement of jojoba biodiesel-diesel blends with the addition of 10% n-butanol by volumewhich is generally acknowledged as an oxygenated additive [20].The results of B20 blend shows that there was decrease in cylindertemperature by 8.2% for Jatropha curcas, engine knocking tendencyby 13.47% for rapeseed, smoke by 63.85% for jojoba oil and NOXemission by 42.2% for Jatropha curcas compared to those fromdiesel fuel at CR17.5 with full engine load [21]. Jojoba oil is obtainedby cultivation of the jojoba plant, harvesting of seeds followed byextraction of oil, which is then converted to biodiesel by the processof transesterification [22]. The significant reduction of smokeemission by 55.3% and PM emission by 51.8% were seen for jojoba,NOX was reduced by 39.6% for Jatropha curcas and SO2 by 46.54%for fish oil at full load conditions with the compression ratio of 17.5powered with B20 blend of biodiesel [23]. Non-edible Jojoba bio-diesel blended with diesel was tested for use as a substitute fuel fordiesel engines [24].

waste discarded by the hospitality sector could provide a sustain-able replacement for diesel fuel [25e28]. In article [29] has beenidentified a novel oily yeast strain AM2352 of Rhodotorula taiwa-nensis, which could effectively convert corncob hydrolysate intomicrobial lipid where it was proved that the over 81.5% of theextracted oil could be converted into biodiesel. Volatile fatty acids(VFAs) derived from organic wastes are being considered as low-cost feedstock for microbial lipid production as a valuable alter-native to plant derived oils/biodiesel [30]. Based on the review [31]on microbial biodiesel technologies, an integrated biodiesel pro-duction line incorporating all the critical technical steps is proposedfor unified management and continuous optimization for highlyefficient biodiesel production. The results in article [32] suggestthat termed orange peel extract (OPE)constitutes an excellent basisfor the fed-batch production of R. toruloides lipids, and this processmight afford a further option in OPW-based biorefinery. To realizelignocellulosic biorefinery is of global interest, with enzymaticsaccharification presenting an essential stage to convert polymericsugars to mono-sugars for fermentation use [33]. Chemo-enzymatic saccharification and bioethanol fermentation of the re-sidual biomass of Dunaliella tertiolecta after lipid extraction forbiodiesel production were investigated [34]. In study [35], glucoseacid catalyst was synthesized via modified sulfonation approachand was successfully utilized in a continuous oscillatory flowreactor to produce an environmentally friendly biodiesel underatmospheric conditions. In recent decades, Artificial intelligence(AI) has been widely developed in various fields such as engineer-ing, health care, decision making, signal processing, etc [36e41]. AImodels compared to experimental techniques and numerical ap-proaches like finite element method (FEM) are able to producemore accurate results [42e47]. Many investigations were deployeddifferent types of AI models and reliable results were obtained,which showed their capability in data prediction [48e53]. In fact, AIalgorithms simulate human intelligence using computer tools[54e56].

A selection approach for best predictors for biodiesel efficiencybased on emission factors and with jojoba oil fuel is used in thisstudy. The data set for the selection procedure was gathered andorganized from published literature. The data samples are selectedusing the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) [57e60].

Enzyme loading, hydrolysis time, biomass loading, workingvolume, and agitation were employed as independent variables inthe study. The result is enzymatic saccharification of microbiallipids' glucose production biodiesel.

2. Methodology and materials

2.1. Experimental procedure for jojoba biodiesel

Dried jojoba oil was used as the biodiesel in the study from NewDelhi, India. The free fatty acid of the oil was 4.62%. The jojobabiodiesel is obtained under conditions presented in study [61]. Theextra stirring has been undertaken for 20min to get the desired freefatty acid value. The biodiesel from the jojoba oil is acquired andsegregated by gravity from glycerol for 12 h in order to disjoint theglycerol for different applications. Hot distilled water is used toremove methanol after warming to 120 �C for 25min. Physico-chemical properties of the jojoba biodiesel are estimated based onthe ASTM standards (ASTM D941, ASTM 240, ASTM D445). Table 1shows chemical characteristics of the sample fuel.

Fig. 1 shows the flowchart of the methodology used in the study.The most important task is to acquire the relevant data with allpossible combinations of the inputs. Fig. 2 shows the experimentalsetup of the engine. Table 2 shows diesel engine configuration.

Literature [61] is used to collect and organize data samples forANFIS analysis. Table 3 illustrates examples of input and outputdata. Blending (percent), fuel injection timing (obTDC), fuel injec-tion pressure (bar), and engine load are the inputs used (percent).The outputs are the brake thermal efficiency (%), unburned hy-drocarbons (ppm vol.), and nitrogen oxides (ppm vol). (ppm vol.).

2.2. Data samples of enzymatic saccharification

The adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilizedto estimate the influence of independent factors on the responseand to comprehend the interactions between them. Enzymeloading, hydrolysis time, biomass loading, working volume, andagitation were employed as independent variables in the study. Byconducting 52 tests at five distinct levels, these parameters wereevaluated on five separate levels. Table 4 shows the experimentalmatrix of the variables along with the experimental findings. Theoutput shows enzymatic saccharification of microbial lipids bio-diesel glucose production.

2.3. ANFIS methodology

As shown in Fig. 3, the ANFIS network contains five levels. Thefuzzy inference system lies at the heart of the ANFIS network. Layer1 accepts the inputs and uses membership functions to convertthem to fuzzy values. The bell-shaped membership function isemployed in this study because it has the best capability fornonlinear data regression.

Bell-shaped membership functions is defined as follows:

3. Results

The best predictors for brake thermal efficiency, unburned hy-drocarbons, and nitrogen oxides were chosen using the ANFISapproach. The selection is crucial, as is the preprocessing of theinput parameters to eliminate irrelevant inputs. The data set istaken from Table 1's data file. Following the commands in MATLABSoftware, the dataset is partitioned into a training set (odd-indexedsamples) and a checking set (even-indexed samples):

[trn_data ¼ data(1:2:end,:);[chk_data ¼ data(2:2:end,:);The function “exhsrch” conducts an exhaustive search within

the available inputs to identify the set of inputs that have thegreatest impact on brake thermal efficiency, unburned hydrocar-bons, and nitrogen oxides. The function's first parameter definesthe number of input combinations that will be tested during theselection process. In essence, “exhsrch” creates an ANFIS model for

each combination, trains it for one epoch, and then publishes theresults. The command lines beloware used to find the one, two, andthree most important attributes in forecasting the outcome:

[ exhsrch(1,trn_data, chk_data);[ exhsrch(2,trn_data, chk_data);[ exhsrch(3,trn_data, chk_data);Tables 5e7 shoed results for each output based on the one and

two inputs. With respect to the output, the input variable with thesmallest training error is the most relevant. The function's findingsclearly show that the input attribute “Engine load” (RMSE¼ 1.8002)has the greatest influence on brake thermal efficiency. Further-more, for unburned hydrocarbons, the input attribute “Fuel injec-tion pressure” (RMSE ¼ 4.2620) has the greatest influence. Finally,the input attribute “Engine load” (RMSE ¼ 4.7484) has the greatestinfluence on nitrogen oxides.

Figs. 4e6 depict the ANFIS model's input/output surface at theminimal checking error during the training phase for three outputsbased on the input combinations chosen.

Table 8 shows the effects of enzymatic saccharification on theglucose output of microbial lipids biodiesel. The results show thatthe input characteristic “Substrate loading” has the greatest impacton the enzymatic saccharification of microbial lipids biodieselglucose production. There is no overfitting because the training andchecking errors are comparable. The findings of “exhsrch” showthat “Substrate loading” and “Working volume” are the best twoinput features or parameters to combine. For the purposes ofcomparison, linear regression can be used to corroborate the ANFISregression results. The RMSE of ANFIS against checking data is6.141, while the RMSE of linear regression is 76.595.

drocarbons, and nitrogen oxides were chosen using the ANFISapproach. According to the findings, the input attribute:

� “Engine load” (RMSE ¼ 1.8002) is the most influential for thebrake thermal efficiency.

� “Fuel injection pressure” (RMSE¼ 4.2620) is themost influentialfor the unburnt hydrocarbons. “

� Engine load” (RMSE ¼ 4.7484) is the most influential for theoxides of nitrogen.

� The best combination of two input qualities or predictors forbrake thermal efficiency is “fuel injection timing” and “engineload".

� The ideal combination of two input qualities or two predictorsfor unburned hydrocarbons is “fuel injection pressure” and“engine load".
