H_ethanol: Engine exhaust fumes from burning ethanol

Description

Ethanol fuel was burned in a single-cylinder engine. For various settings of the engine compression and equivalence ratio, the emissions of nitrogen oxides were recorded.

Usage

ethanol

Format

A data frame with 88 observations on the following 3 variables.

NOx

Concentration of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) in micrograms/J.

C

Compression ratio of the engine.

E

Equivalence ratio--a measure of the richness of the air and ethanol fuel mixture.
