Diesel Engine Performance Data for Biodiesel-Butanol Blends with Nanoparticle Additives

ALAGALA HARIKRISHNA's raw experimental dataset contains measurements from a CRDI diesel engine test. It records brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate, ignition delay, and exhaust emissions for four fuel configurations. Data was collected at 200 bar injection pressure with pilot injection timings of 19°, 21°, 23°, and 25° bTDC.

Use Cases

• Model the relationship between pilot injection timing and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) across four fuel blends.
• Analyze the impact of soapnut bio-nanoparticle additives on exhaust emissions like CO, HC, and NOx.
• Correlate in-cylinder pressure and heat release rate data with ignition delay for different biodiesel-butanol mixtures.
• Compare brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) between neat diesel (D100) and blended fuels (B20, B20+75D5BU, B20+75D5BU+SN60ppm).

Strengths

• Data includes seven distinct performance and emission metrics: BTE, BSFC, in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate, ignition delay, and five exhaust gases.
• Tests four specific fuel configurations, enabling direct comparison of additive effects.
• Experiments conducted under controlled conditions with four pilot injection timings (19°, 21°, 23°, 25° bTDC) and a fixed 200 bar injection pressure.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 17.7 KB, indicating a limited number of experimental runs or observations.
• Scope is restricted to a single-cylinder, four-stroke CRDI engine; results may not generalize to other engine types.
• Unknown row and column counts prevent assessment of data volume and feature completeness.
