Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Waste plastic oil–diesel blends enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles were experimentally evaluated in a compression ignition engine under varying injection timings and modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimized WP20PD + 1000 ppm blend improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while ANN prediction achieved high ...
