Abstract The huge fossil fuel consumption has created an unprecedented situation and, with the accompanying rise in car numbers, pollution levels have been well beyond human control. This is alarming enough to note that the level of pollution has surpassed all levels and the need for the hour is to find an alternative fuel that can really be of great help in reducing exhaust emissions and that efficiency. Experiments performed on S.I engine are considered to be time-consuming and the expenses met to perform these experiments are too costly, so the need of soft computing techniques involved in this area. Soft computing has shown a great deal of potential in providing researchers with the exact solution that could be used to validate or predict performance and emission parameters. The different software computing methods are widely used, includes the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the Fuzzy Expert System (FES), Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The one and only objective of this effort is to bring out the comprehensive review of various researchers who have carried out the work on soft computing techniques on S.I engines with a variety of alternative fuels.
1 Introduction In the present scenario I.C engines have generated great relevance in comforting human beings. Automobiles, ships, motorcycle, aircraft, locomotive, etc. are all driven by the most common source of power. I.C engines have the advantage of their enormous power-to-weight ratio. All engine varieties depend on some or other type of fuel [1].With the rapid growth of industry, consumption of fossil fuels is rising slowly and modernization plays a significant role in the depletion [2]. The energy available and energy demand are going to differ in the coming 50 years due to the gradual decrease of fossil fuels and the overall depletion [3].Chaos prevails on the road with number of vehicles mushrooming * Amit Kumar Thakur [email protected] 1

every day, so in terms of health risks the pollutant emissions are becoming lethal. Harmful pollutants discharged into our environment have taken an effect and the hour is needed to cut or maintain these emissions within safe limits. In this regard, a great deal of research has been done to find the best suitable alternative fuel that can not only increase the performance parameters of the engine but also help to counteract the emission
