This data article is based on research work which examines the potential of Persea americana (Avocado) plant oil biodiesel and its blends as viable alternative to the environmentally degrading and virtually unsustainable fossil fuel (diesel) in direct-injection, compression-ignition engines. The Avocado biodiesel was synthesized by a single-process, methanol-catalyzed transesterification reaction under optimum conditions. The cold flow and critical properties of the produced biodiesel and its blends were analyzed by using America standard for testing materials (ASTM) procedures. Data on performance and combustion characteristics of the biodiesel and its blends on test engine HR178FA/FAE Single Cylinder, 4-Stroke, air-cooled, direct-injection, compression-ignition diesel engine at various engine loads of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% are provided. The emission and smoke opacity characteristics were measured by a nova 7460 exhaust gas analyzer and AVL 437 smoke meter respectively.
本数据文章基于一项研究工作，该研究考察了鳄梨（Persea americana）植物油生物柴油及其混合物在直喷式压缩点火发动机中作为对环境有破坏且几乎不可持续的化石燃料（柴油）的可行替代品的潜力。鳄梨生物柴油是在最佳条件下通过单步甲醇催化酯交换反应合成的。所生产生物柴油及其混合物的冷流和关键特性通过使用美国材料试验标准（ASTM）程序进行分析。提供了生物柴油及其混合物在HR178FA/FAE单缸、四冲程、风冷、直喷、压缩点火柴油发动机上，在0%、20%、40%、60%、80%和100%的各种发动机负荷下的性能和燃烧特性数据。排放和烟度特性分别通过nova 7460废气分析仪和AVL 437烟度计进行测量。
