Response surface methodology (RSM) for optimizing engine performance and emissions fueled with biofuel: Review of RSM for sustainability energy transition

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a statistical method to design experiments and optimize the effect of process variables. RSM is based on the principles of design of experiments or DOE. Design of experiments or DOE is a field of applied statistics that plans, conducts, analyses, and interprets controlled tests to assess factors that affect parameter values. Response surface methodology or RSM uses a statistical method for designing experiments and optimization. Despite the potential of response surface methodology to predict and optimize engine performance and emissions characteristics, a comprehensive review on RSM for biofuels, particularly for internal combustion engines (ICEs), is difficult to find.…
