Transportation of people and goods largely relies on the use of fossil hydrocarbons,
contributing to global warming and problems with local air quality. There are a number of …

Energy security and global warming concern are the two main driving forces for the global
alcohol development that also have the effort to animate the agro-industry. Generally …

Engineers and researchers are dreaming of developing engines and fuels in such a way
that very few harmful exhaust emissions can be generated and released to the environment …

The oxygenates ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol

ABSTRACT Globally, 1.3 billion on-road vehicles consume 79 quadrillion BTU of energy,
mostly gasoline and diesel fuels, emit 5.7 gigatonnes of CO2, and emit other pollutants to …

When expressed using volumetric concentrations (as is industry practice), the addition of
relatively small amounts of ethanol or methanol (eg, 10% by volume) to gasoline appears to …

This study examined the possibility of finding an alternative fuel to replace the Iraqi-origin
gasoline. Iraqi gasoline has high levels of lead and sulfur compounds, so the pollutants …

This paper provides an overview of the effects of blending ethanol with gasoline for use in
spark ignition engines. The overview is written from the perspective of considering a future …

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a promising alternative combustion
mode to conventional diesel combustion to achieve better engine performance and lower …
