Week 6 - Data analysis

AIM :TO WRITE A PYTHON PROGRAM WHICH READS THE ENGINE OUTPUT PARAMETER DATA FILE AND PERFORM THE REQUIRED OBJECTIVES

The programming language used is Python

2.OBJECTIVE :

1. To read the data from a given data file.
2. To take the file name as an input from the user and check whether the file is present or not.
3. To plot a graph between 2 parameters given by the user as an input.
4. To do basic performance calculation by calculating the area under the P-V diagram, the power output of this engine, and specific fuel consumption.

3.PROBLEM STATEMENT :

Read the data from a given file named 'engine_data.out' using python program, plot a curve between 2 engine parameters (parameters to be given by the user as an input) and perform basic performance calculation by calculating the area under the P-V diagram, the power output of this engine(Assume that RPM is 1500) and specific fuel consumption (engine consumed 20 micrograms of fuel (per 1 stroke cycle))

4.PROCEDURE

To solve the above-given problem statement, the following procedure is followed:

1. Using a python program initially the name of the data file is taken as an input from the user and checked whether the file is present or not if the file is not present then the program is terminated.
2. Then the file is opened and data is read line by line and stored.
3. The name of parameters, their units, and their column number are stored as an array and displayed in form of a table for the user to select the required columns.
4. Then the column no for the independent parameter (x-axis) and dependent parameter (y-axis) is taken from the user and the values of that column are extracted from the data file and further plotted.
5. At the end the values under pressure and volume column are extracted from the data file and the area under the PV diagram is calculated which gives the work done, then multiplying it with speed the value of power output by the engine is calculated, and at the end, the specific fuel consumption is also calculated and displayed.
