Scientists and engineers have made significant advances over the
last two decades to achieve feasible, cost-efficient processes for
the large-scale production of alternative, environmentally friendly
sources of energy. Alcoholic Fuels describes the latest methods for
producing fuels containing varying percentages of alcohol alongside
the various applications they benefit, including combustion
engines, fuel cells, and miniature power generators. Written by
experts and innovators in the field,the chapters address the
development and application of all alcoholic fuels, from production
to end use. The first section of the book examines the production
of methanol, ethanol, and butanol from several biomass sources,
including corn, wood, and landfill waste. The second section
explores blended fuels, such as E10, E85, and E-Diesel, and the
third section focuses on applications of the different alcohol fuel
types, including fuel cells, reformers, and generators. The book
concludes with a discussion of the future production, use, and
impact of alcohol-based fuels on society. Alcoholic Fuels provides
a timely and practical source of information for chemists,
engineers, and scientists working with alternative energy sources
as well as managers, policymakers, and consumers considering the
use and implementation of alcoholic fuels in automobiles and other
energy conversion devices.
