Data set on optimized biodiesel production and formulation of emulsified Eucalyptus teriticornisis biodiesel for usage in compression ignition engine

Abstract

This data article presents the experimental values pertaining to the bio-oil extraction, optimizing biodiesel production and formulation of emulsified fuel blends of E.tereticornisis bio-oil for its use in compression ignition engine. The E.tereticornisis leaves were collected from the interior region of Puducherry, India. Soxhlet extraction process, in the presence of n-hexane, yielded 5.2% of bio-oil. Based on the free fatty acid content, base catalysed transesterification process was adopted along with use of sodium hydroxide and methanol. Optimization of biodiesel yield was carried out by varying the operating parameters. A biodiesel yield of 74.19% was obtained at eighty minutes reaction duration, 1.8 l/g ms of sodium hydroxide, 70 °C reaction temperature and 8:1 oil to molar ratio. Furthermore, the physiochemical properties improved by emulsifying the obtained biodiesel with 5% of water in presence of surfactant through experiments carried out based on Taguchi׳s DOE method.

Data set for effect of cetane enhancer on ceramic coated diesel engine fuelled with neat Moringa oleifera methyl ester

“…The methyl ester was purified with warm de-ionized water for thrice. The properties of MOME were evaluated based on ASTM [1] , [7] , [8] condition under laboratory condition and blended with 1% of PY to achieve improved fuel properties.…”

Data set of multi-objective optimization of diesel engine parameters

“…Suitable orthogonal array was selected based on number of parameters and number of levels in the step 4 and given in Table 2. Designed experiments were carefully conducted and data were recorded [1]. To convert the multi-objective optimization problem in to single objective optimization problem grey relational analysis (GRA) was performed in step 6.…”

“…This data article is presenting the data set on parametric optimization of four key parameters such as compression ratio, type of blending fuel, blending ratio and injection timing for four different objectives namely higher brake thermal efficiency, lower brake specific fuel consumption, lower oxides of nitrogen emission and lower unburnt hydrocarbon emission using grey relational analysis and orthogonal array based experimental design and statistical analysis. Experimental design was carried out using L9 orthogonal array and experimental results were given in Table 6 [1]. Further grey relational analysis was performed and related data were present in Table 7, Table 8.…”

Data set on optimization of ethyl ester production from sapota seed oil

“…Once the oil attained the required temperature, the prepared ethoxide solution was slowly poured into the conical flask. Each experiment was conducted for 90 minutes and repeated for three times and average value was taken [6].…”
