Biofuels have grabbed the attention of engine researchers ever since the oil-crisis and
escalating costs of petro-chemicals cropped up in the׳ 70s. Ethanol and methanol were the …

Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

The fundamental combustion and emissions properties of advanced biofuels are reviewed,
and their impact on engine performance is discussed, in order to guide the selection of …

Butanol is a very competitive renewable biofuel for use in internal combustion engines given
its many advantages. In this review, the properties of butanol are compared with the …

This article brings a comprehensive literature review with the objective of presenting
butanol, its characteristics and properties. The focus of this work is to gain a better …

Advanced low-temperature combustion concepts that rely on compression ignition have
placed new technological demands on the modeling of low-temperature oxidation in general …

Alcohols, such as butanol, are a class of molecules that have been proposed as a bio-
derived alternative or blending agent for conventional petroleum derived fuels. The …

Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

The properties of butanol offer more promising results compared to those of lower chain
alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. However, butanol as a biofuel has not yet been …

At a first glance, ethanol, toluene and methyl tert-butyl ether look nothing alike with respect
to their molecular structures. Nevertheless, all share a similarly high octane number. A …
