Investigation of the emission characteristics of iso-butanol additives on methanol-gasoline blends using spark ignition engine

Lower emissions of spark ignition engine can be achieved by using alcohol fuels such as methanol as it is more environmental advantage over fossil fuel. The methanol fuels can be further improved by added with iso-butanol as it have higher energy content and able to displace more gasoline fuel. Neve...
