摘要
In this study,a transfer learning-based neural network approach to predict ignition delays for a variety of fuels is proposed to meet the demand for accurate combustion analysis.A comprehensive dataset of ignition delays was generated using a random sampling technique across different temperatures and pressures,focusing on hydrocarbon fuels with 1-4 carbon atoms.Two machine learning models,an artificial neural network and a graph convolutional network,are trained on this dataset,and their prediction performance was evaluated.A transfer learning framework was subsequently developed,enabling the models trained on smaller molecules(1-3 carbon atoms)to predict ignition delays for larger molecules(4 carbon atoms)with minimal additional data.The proposed framework demonstrated reliable and high prediction accuracy,achieving a high level of reliability for fuels with limited experimental measurements.This approach offers significant potential to streamline the prediction of ignition delays for novel fuels,reducing the dependence on resource-intensive experiments and complex simulations while contributing to the advancement of clean and efficient energy technologies.
