Methanol Biofuel in Combustion Engines: From Production to Practical Applications

by Yacine Rezgui

Overview

Biofuel Perspectives: Methanol and Ethanol in Combustion Engines from Production to Practical Application provides a detailed and in-depth review of the combustion characteristics of methanol and ethanol as biofuels, with a focus on their chemical reactions and kinetic models, as well as on their combustion experiments in laboratory devices and usage in real engines. The book also covers methanol and ethanol production technologies and their physico-chemical properties. Users will find a complete and consolidated resource on methanol and ethanol biofuels that will be a valuable resource for biofuel researchers and scientists, automotive engineers, technologists, policymakers, environmentalists, and students.
