Alcohol Based Automotive Fuels from First Four Alcohol Family in Compression and Spark Ignition Engine: A Review on Engine Performance and Exhaust Emissions

Alcohol fuels have some significant advantages over other alternative fuels, including the ability to work in existing engines as well as the capability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyses the performance and emissions of compression and spark ignition engine using of alcohol fue...
