Data Sets <<back
These data sets are in Excel for Windows 5.0 format (zipped)
Calculated values in the spreadsheets use named ranges, so that the formulas
used for the calculations can be deciphered. Each test is entered as a
sheet in a workbook and includes data, calculated summaries and a graph
of stack temperature, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Particulate emissions are calculated from two sets of filter weights,
since filters are always changed 15 minutes into the test. Most of the
later tests include complete fueling specifications, including surface
to volume ratio information.
Photographs of each fuel load are available as jpegs. Included in the
Excel workbooks are data summary sheets and graphs.
