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 …

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 …

Lean-burn is an effective way to optimize the fuel economy of spark-ignition methanol
engines. Hydrogen-assisted combustion can improve the stability of combustion and …

The effects of twin-spark plug arrangement on flame, combustion and emissions of a
medium compression ratio direct injection methanol engine were numerically investigated …

Currently, alternative energy sources such as hydrogen and alcohol are increasingly used in
IC engines. There is a gap in the literature of both experimental and numerical studies …

Laminar burning velocities and flame instabilities of the butanol–air premixed flames and its
isomers are investigated using the spherically expanding flame with central ignition at initial …

At present, methanol, ethanol and butanol are recognized clean fuels and have been
extensively studied. This paper mainly studies the combustion and emission characteristics …

This study discusses the performance and exhaust emissions of a vehicle fueled with low
content alcohol (ethanol and methanol) blends and pure gasoline. The vehicle tests were …

Methanol, with a high octane index, is considered to be one of the most ideal fuels for high
compression ratio engines. In this paper, the SAGE models combined with methanol …

The four alcoholic isomers of butanol were added into T20 diesel surrogate (80% n-heptane
and 20% toluene in volume) in co-flow partially premixed flames at volumetric fractions of …
