In the pursuit of improving engine performance and mitigating emissions, researchers have explored the intriguing domain of fuel blends incorporating butanol and gasoline. This innovative study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics between butanol and gasoline when utilized as a blended fuel in internal combustion engines. The current study integrates cutting-edge techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for the optimization of engine performance.
The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.
