Operational data set of a 2 MW natural gas-fired generation engine at shutdown times.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, operational data of a natural gas-fired generation engine at 2 MW of power is presented. This engine is used as part of the power supply system of a flexible packaging transformation and conversion plant. This plant, besides having the power supply generated by the engine, receives electrical energy from the network. The data collected from this engine corresponds to measurements taken before, during and after engine stops, whether due to engine maintenance stops, engine failures or external power grid failures. The measurement was made every 10 seconds, and for the storage of these data a data acquisition software was used, which, besides allowing to take these data, shows in real time the electrical behavior of the electrical supply system, as well as the mechanical behavior of the engine.

Dataset for comparison between single and double pilot injection in diesel-natural gas dual fuel engine.

Project description:The present data article is based on the research work which investigates the low-temperature combustion (LTC) in a dual fuel light duty engine. The LTC mode was activated by means of double pilot injection to control the energy release rate in the first combustion stage, thereby minimizing the increase of the rate of pressure and allowing the operation under LTC. This data article presents all the data which supports the choice for double pilot injection vs single pilot injection for that research. In this experimental work the engine was fueled with diesel, in full-diesel (FD) mode, and in dual fuel (DF) mode with natural gas and natural gas - hydrogen mixtures as main fuel. In DF mode the pilot diesel fuel was injected both with a single and a double injection at the same engine speed and torque. The pressure cycle in one of the four cylinders, the intake manifold pressure and the injector current signal were acquired on a crank angle basis for 100 consecutive engine cycles. Analysis of combustion rate, maximum pressure rise and fuel/air flow rate were performed. The data set, which also includes some engine control parameters, the combustion chamber geometry and some injector features, can potentially be reused to numerically model the combustion phenomena and, in particular, to investigate the effect on the ignition phase of combustion in LTC, also considering the variability from cycle to cycle.

Development of a Diesel/Natural Gas Mechanism Model for the CFD Simulation of Dual-Fuel Engine.

Project description:Diesel/natural gas (NG) can effectively improve the performance and reduce emissions of the reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine. In this work, n-hexadecane was used to characterize diesel and the methane/ethane/propane mixture was used to characterize NG, and a simplified diesel/NG mechanism containing 645 reactions and 155 species was established. We used brute force sensitivity analysis to optimize the key dynamic parameters of the mechanism and, through the laminar flame velocity, the substance concentration in the jet-stirred reactors and the ignition delay in the shock tube to verify the optimized n-hexadecane/NG mechanism and found that this mechanism can better respond to diesel/NG. Finally, the mechanism was coupled with the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) to study the effect of different diesel injection timings (DITs) on the combustion performance of RCCI engines. The results show that as the DIT advanced, the temperature distribution in the cylinder became uneven. Also, when the temperature was lower, the content of unburned methane in the cylinder increased. When the DIT was 45° crank angle (CA) before the top dead center (BTDC), the temperature and equivalent in the cylinder were more evenly distributed than in the cylinder and the unburned methane content was lower and diesel/NG exhibited a better combustion effect. The diesel/natural gas mechanism model can be better applied to the CFD simulation of dual-fuel RCCI engines.

Data on drying kinetics of a semi-automated gas-fired fish dryer.

Project description:The dataset presented in this article represent the drying characteristics of a semi-automated gas-fired fish dryer. A cabinet dryer was constructed mainly from mild steel sheet metal and stainless steel, and was used for drying prepared fish samples of Clarias gariepinus species. Major operating parameters which included mass of fish, mass of Liquefied Petroleum Gas used, inside temperature of the dryer, and drying time were monitored. Also, output parameters such as the moisture content and energy utilization amongst others were observed and recorded at varying time intervals and specified drying temperatures. The drying temperature was sustained via an incorporated PID temperature controller that allowed drying to proceed until a relatively constant mass of the dried fish samples was attained. The information contained in this data article include a schematic drawing of drying kinetics analysis of the semi-automated gas-fired fish dryer and a pictorial view of the gas-fired cabinet dryer. Also included are pictorial representations of the washed and neatly folded degutted fish samples and dried fish samples. Data provided in this article are those relating to process parameters of the semi-automated fish dryer, data of output parameters of the fish dryer and comparisons of moisture content and energy utilization at different drying temperatures with time.

Engine exhaust particulate and gas phase contributions to vascular toxicity.

Project description:Cardiovascular health effects of near-roadway pollution appear more substantial than other sources of air pollution. The underlying cause of this phenomenon may simply be concentration-related, but the possibility remains that gases and particulate matter (PM) may physically interact and further enhance systemic vascular toxicity. To test this, we utilized a common hypercholesterolemic mouse model (Apolipoprotein E-null) exposed to mixed vehicle emission (MVE; combined gasoline and diesel exhausts) for 6?h/d?×?50?d, with additional permutations of removing PM by filtration and also removing gaseous species from PM by denudation. Several vascular bioassays, including matrix metalloproteinase-9 protein, 3-nitrotyrosine and plasma-induced vasodilatory impairments, highlighted that the whole emissions, containing both particulate and gaseous components, was collectively more potent than MVE-derived PM or gas mixtures, alone. Thus, we conclude that inhalation of fresh whole emissions induce greater systemic vascular toxicity than either the particulate or gas phase alone. These findings lend credence to the hypothesis that the near-roadway environment may have a more focused public health impact due to gas-particle interactions.

Experimental study on diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation performance and optimum exhaust gas recirculation rate determination method.

Project description:In order to study the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) performance of marine diesel engines, a venturi high-pressure EGR device was established to overcome the exhaust gas reflow problem based on a certain type of turbocharged diesel engine. The EGR performance test is accomplished and an optimal EGR decision-making optimization method based on grey correlation coefficient modified is proposed. The results show that the venturi tube EGR can basically meet the injection requirements of high-pressure exhaust gas and achieve good results. Through the venturi tube EGR, the NO X emissions reduce significantly with the maximum drop of 30.6%. The explosive pressure in cylinder reduces with the EGR rate increases and the cylinder pressure curve shows a single peak at low-speed conditions and double peaks at high-speed condition. However, the fuel consumption rate, NO X and smoke have been negatively affected. Due to small samples, the traditional evaluation method is difficult to determine the optimal EGR rate reasonably, while the proposed method can effectively solve this problem. It can weaken the shortcomings of subjective judgement and greatly improve the rationality of decision-making results.

The times, movements and operational efficiency of mechanized coffee harvesting in sloped areas.

Project description:Coffee farms have been adopting the microterraces system, a technique that reduces the effect of the slope by moving the soil between the crop lines. In this way, all the mechanized operations can be carried out normally, except for harvesting, due to the work limitation of the harvesters, who work in areas with a maximum slope of 20%. One option is to use unilateral harvesters, which crop one side at a time; however, there has been no research on these microterrace machines to evaluate their performance and to compare it with those of the other harvesting methods in those regions. This study aimed to compare the mechanized harvest performance in the microterraces with the manual and semimechanized harvesting methods. The study was carried out in an agricultural area of the municipality of Ouro Fino / MG, Brazil, in a crop production site where the microterraces were built six years before the experiment. The treatments were assigned to a split-block design with seven repetitions and consisted of mechanized harvest-unilateral harvester with bag storage; manual harvest-regionally experienced workers; and semimechanized harvest-with portable breakers. Through an analysis of the times and movements, the operational efficiency and operational and effective field capabilities were measured. The adoption of microterraces allows the efficient mechanization of areas previously impossible to mechanize. The unilateral harvester is a potential tool for the partial replacement of manual labor in the harvest, performing a service equivalent to that of 23.68 manual workers and 10.55 manual workers in the semimechanized system.

Accuracy and precision of stimulus timing and reaction times with Unreal Engine and SteamVR.

Project description:The increasing interest in Virtual Reality (VR) as a tool for neuroscientific research contrasts with the current lack of established toolboxes and standards. In several recent studies, game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine were used. It remains to be tested whether these software packages provide sufficiently precise and accurate stimulus timing and time measurements that allow inferring ongoing mental and neural processes. We here investigated the precision and accuracy of the timing mechanisms of Unreal Engine 4 and SteamVR in combination with the HTC Vive VR system. In a first experiment, objective external measures revealed that stimulus durations were highly accurate. In contrast, in a second experiment, the assessment of the precision of built-in timing procedures revealed highly variable reaction time measurements and inaccurate determination of stimulus onsets. Hence, we developed a new software-based method that allows precise and accurate reaction time measurements with Unreal Engine and SteamVR. Instead of using the standard timing procedures implemented within Unreal Engine, time acquisition was outsourced to a background application. Timing benchmarks revealed that the newly developed method allows reaction time measurements with a precision and accuracy in the millisecond range. Overall, the present results indicate that the HTC Vive together with Unreal Engine and SteamVR can achieve high levels of precision and accuracy both concerning stimulus duration and critical time measurements. The latter can be achieved using a newly developed routine that allows not only accurate reaction time measures but also provides precise timing parameters that can be used in combination with time-sensitive functional measures such as electroencephalography (EEG) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Impact of Biofuel Blends on Black Carbon Emissions from a Gas Turbine Engine.

Project description:Presented here is an overview of non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) emissions, i.e. "soot" as assessed by TEM analyses of samples collected after the exhaust of a J-85 turbojet fueled with Jet-A as well as with blends of Jet-A and Camelina biofuel. A unifying explanation is provided to illustrate the combustion dynamics of biofuel and Jet-A fuel. The variation of primary particle size, aggregate size and nanostructure are analyzed as a function of biofuel blend across a range of engine thrust levels. The postulate is based on where fuels start along the soot formation pathway. Increasing biofuel content lowers aromatic concentration while placing increasing dependence upon fuel pyrolysis reactions to form the requisite concentration of aromatics for particle inception and growth. The required "kinetic" time for pyrolysis reactions to produce benzene and multi-ring PAHs allows increased fuel-air mixing by turbulence, diluting the fuel-rich soot-forming regions, effectively lowering their equivalence ratio. With a lower precursor concentration, particle inception is slowed, the resulting concentration of primary particles is lowered and smaller aggregates were measured. The lower equivalence ratio also results in smaller primary particles because of the lower concentration of growth species.
