An overview on the light alcohol fuels in diesel engines

摘要: Abstract One of the most useful characteristics science is its cumulative concept. This work was done as an attempt to contribute this nature. As many reports have revealed that petroleum based fuels are depleting and releasing harmful emissions natural atmosphere, law makers contemplate eliminate or at least mitigate these issues for near future. In order deeply address issues, studies been proposed on usage alternative such methanol ethanol diminish exhaust gas pollution released from internal combustion engines replace conventional with extensive feedstock. Light alcohols (methanol ethanol) promising in thanks their feedstock, low-emissions, low-cost easy-adaptability engine technologies. It has recorded recent past researches worked light alcohol effects especially diesel engines. previous literature, present paper reviews works identify performance, including productions, economic benefits, applications, demand supply, environmental human impacts alcohols. Various applications diesel, biodiesel, blends diesel/biodiesel diesel/biodiesel/esters summarized.
