Assessment of alternative fuels having oxygen for use in IC engines
Description
Nowadays, the matter around the world, which is known by a very wide circle and gathers attention from the point of view of environmental issues, is the increase of global warming occurring because of the green house effect that has reached to dangerous level. In this study, pure vegetable oil, biodiesel, ethanol and methanol fuels have been considered as fuels having oxygen and in the first phase their fuel characteristics have been compared. The factors mentioned in the tables are determined as followings; HC emission, CO emission, NOx emission, CO2 emission, smoke emission, environment, engine power, fuel consumption, storage, transportation-safety, vehicle-engine modification, fuel price, institution-facility, reserve potential, engine wear, convenience for usage.
