Society's increasing demand for transportation fuels has assured a viable future for the
development of renewable fuels. Although first‐generation biofuels are dependent on …

The fossil fuel industry faces issues of atmospheric pollution by sulphur and nitrogen
compounds, and emerging competition from electricity, solar, wind and hydrogen sectors. As …

The history of dynamic straining in stress corrosion cracking studies and the evolution of the
slow strain rate test (SSRT) are reviewed. Smooth and notched specimens; the importance …

The role of water, acetic acid, chloride, and oxygen level in corrosion and pitting behaviour
of carbon steel in simulated fuel-grade ethanol (SFGE) was investigated. In the absence of …

Ethanol–gasoline blends (EGBs) can easily absorb large amounts of water because of the
presence of ethanol. Acidic compounds and ions can be dissolved in water, and these …

The intrinsic dissolution rate of manganese sulfide (MnS) was measured in water with
hydrochloric acid and in fuel-grade ethanol (FGE) with acetic acid and hydrochloric acid …

Due to the increased use of environmentally friendly fuels, it becomes imperative to evaluate
the impact of biofuels on the performance of materials used in auto parts. The corrosive …

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the formation and growth of crack through materials
subjected to tensile stress and a specific corrosive medium. It can lead to unexpected …

Alcohol could be the biggest factor in the improvement of the world biofuel economy in the
present century due to its excellent properties on par with petroleum products. The biggest …

A systematic study was carried out to understand the effect of ethanol chemistry (chloride,
water, pHe, and oxygen level) as well as other controlling parameters on the stress …
