Combustion Characteristic of a Diesel Engine Operating with Methanol as Alternative Fuel

Modelling the compression ignition engine mostly depends on fuel characteristics. The proses involve a model of the real system and carry out experiment as a mean of comparison to understand the behaviour of the system.
