Diesel Engine Project

April 2021

At Lehigh University, the Mechanical Engineering department houses a single cylinder Diesel Engine rated at 6.5 Hp. The engine has a compression ratio of 20, a cylinder bore of 3.1" and a stroke of 2.5". The engine is outfitted with a pressure transducer within the cylinder and a rotary encoder that reads the angular position of the crankshaft. 

Data was collected using LabVIEW. Using this data, I performed a series of tasks that are listed on the rubric HERE.
