This book was released on 1984 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the effects of alcohol fuels on spark ignition engine wear and deposition was jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Army Belvoir Research and Development Center. This research has investigated four alcohol-containing fuels: pure methanol, pure ethanol, methanol in unleaded gasoline, and ethanol in unleaded gasoline (gasohol). Tests were conducted using a variety of single-cylinder research engines and production multicylinder engines, mounted in dynamometer test stands. This testing indicated that pure alcohol fuels reduced the buildup of engine deposits. Also, neat methanol greatly increased engine wear rates at engine temperatures below 75 C, while anhydrous ethanol and the alcohol-gasoline blends did not increase wear rates over that of unleaded gasoline. Engine-based tests were conducted to investigate the effects of variations in lubricant base stocks and additive formulations on the wear observed with methanol. To determine interaction between fuel alcohols and engine metals, two approaches were developed. The role of nitrogen in the wear process was studied by operating a 2.3-litre engine fueled with methanol in a nitrogen-free atmosphere. Bench experiments indicated that formic-acid and peroxides are formed as methanol combustion intermediates. Originator-supplied keywords include: Combustion, Lubrication, Additives, Corrosion, Formic-acid.

Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on methanol and its utilization in transportation sector, namely in spark ignition (SI) engines. The contents focus on methanol production and presents a variety of production technologies from different feedstocks. The potential of methanol utilization in transportation in SI engines is discussed, its challenges, limitations, aspects related to its utilization and current global use of methanol are also presented. The book also contains chapters related to pollutant formation and exhaust emissions from methanol fuelled SI engines, one chapter is focused specifically on formaldehyde emissions, which possesses one of the greatest challenges of methanol use in IC engines. Readers will learn about the production aspects of methanol, its potential as a sustainable fuel, its utilization in SI engine and the effect of methanol and its utilization techniques on engine performance, combustion, exhaust emissions, efficiency and other important parameters. This volume will be a useful guide for professionals, post-graduate students involved in alternative fuels, spark ignition engines, and environmental research.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the effects of alcohol fuels on spark ignition engine wear and deposition was jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Command. Tests were conducted using neat methanol. anhydrous ethanol, and alcohol blends as fuel in a 2.3-liter engine using a modified ASTM Sequence V-D test procedure. This dynamometer testing indicates that alcohol fuels reduce the buildup of engine deposits. Also, it was found that neat methanol greatly increases engine wear rates at operating temperatures below 75 degrees C, while anhydrous ethanol and alcohol-gasoline blends do not increase wear rates over that of unleaded gasoline. Tests were then conducted to evaluate the effects of methanol fuel on ten fully formulated lubricants and one lubricant with twelve additive composition changes. A 20-hour steady-state test was developed which shows that engine wear is inversely related to engine oil temperature when using methanol as fuel. The study shows that one lubricant appears to best control methanol-related engine wear, but still not to acceptable levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohols, in particular methanol and ethanol, are currently being extensively studied for feasibility of use as neat fuels, fuel extenders, and/or octane improvers. This report provides a review of methanol technology and a preliminary assessment of its potential for use as a mobility/stationary equipment fuel. A high degree of technical feasibility has been indicated for both increased methanol production and use as a fuel, principally in burners, turbines, and spark ignition engines. Generally, the methanol fuel of choice for direct utilization is not neat methanol, but a methanol fuel containing materials such as isopentane or gasoline (up to 10 vo1%) to improve cold start, volatility, and other fuel properties. Modifications of existing equipment are generally needed for direct use of fuel grade methanol except in fuel cells. Use of methanol at low concentrations as an additive or gasoline extender presents fewer problems of system corrosion and elastomer compatibility. A program to demonstrate the potential for utilization of methanol (both direct and as an extender) in DOD equipment has been recommended. Under this program, the Army would evaluate the equipment performance in various climates, test the equipment reliability/durability, and resolve related support questions on the safe and efficient storage, distribution, and use of methanol fuel.
