Application of DoE evaluation to introduce the optimum injection strategy-chamber geometry of diesel engine using surrogate epsilon-SVR

It is determined that the effect of adjustment in injection strategy is more important than that of the engine modification. A slight reduction of inner bowl diameter and bowl radius should be concomitant with decrement of spray cone angle and injection angle with respect to the baseline engine. The best design configuration is achieved at Run ID 22 (R4/Di/injection angle/spray cone angle = 5.77 mm/43.7 mm/121.9 deg/4.11 deg). DoE method using Sobol sequence is used incorporating with the support vector regression to predict output parameters with acceptable accuracy in this research project.
