Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up to five oreven more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be derived from biologicalmatter via established and new processes. In addition, many of their physical-chemical properties arecompatible with the requirements of modern engines, which make them attractive either as re-placements for fossil fuels or as fuel additives. Indeed, alcohol fuels have been used since the early yearsof automobile production, particularly in Brazil, where ethanol has a long history of use as an automobilefuel. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the use of non-petroleum-based fuels made frombiological sources, including alcohols (predominantly ethanol), as important liquid biofuels. Today, theethanol fuel that is offered in the market is mainly made from sugar cane or corn. Its production as afirst-generation biofuel, especially in North America, has been associated with publicly discusseddrawbacks, such as reduction in the food supply, need for fertilization, extensive water usage, and otherecological concerns. More environmentally friendly processes are being considered to produce alcoholsfrom inedible plants or plant parts on wasteland. While biofuel production and its use (especially ethanoland biodiesel) in internal combustion engines have been the focus of several recent reviews, a dedicatedoverview and summary of research on alcohol combustion chemistry is still lacking. Besides ethanol,many linear and branched members of the alcohol family, from methanol to hexanols, have been studied,with a particular emphasis on butanols. These fuels and their combustion properties, including theirignition, flame propagation, and extinction characteristics, their pyrolysis and oxidation reactions, andtheir potential to produce pollutant emissions have been intensively investigated in dedicated experi-ments on the laboratory and the engine scale, also emphasizing advanced engine concepts. Researchresults addressing combustion reaction mechanisms have been reported based on results from pyrolysisand oxidation reactors, shock tubes, rapid compression machines, and research engines. This work iscomplemented by the development of detailed combustion models with the support of chemical kineticsand quantum chemistry. This paper seeks to provide an introduction to and overview of recent results onalcohol combustion by highlighting pertinent aspects of this rich and rapidly increasing body of infor-mation. As such, this paper provides an initial source of references and guidance regarding the presentstatus of combustion experiments on alcohols and models of alcohol combustion.

THE INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

found in the author's fuel research engine when using petrol and ethyl alcohol under precisely similar conditions as to temperature, &c., and at a compression ratio of 5 : 1 . In both cases a careful series of measurements was made at mixture strengths ranging from 20 per cent weak to 25 per cent over-rich.

In the case of fuels whose volatility is very low, such as kerosene, butyl alcohol, &c., advantage cannot be taken of the latent heat of evaporation, because it then becomes necessary to add an excessive amount of heat before entry to the cylinder, in order to prevent condensation in the induction system. For this reason alone the power output obtainable from kerosene is actually some 15 per cent

lower than from petrol or other volatile hydrocarbons at the same compression ratio.

Volatility.—The mean volatility of a fuel is of importance since this determines the amount of pre-heating required to give reason-ably uniform distribution. The amount of pre-heating governs, in its turn, the use which may be made of the latent heat of the liquid fuel.

In single-cylinder engines volatility is, between wide limits, of comparatively little consequence since the exposed surface of the induction pipe is relatively small, but as the number of cylinders is

Target Property for Fuel Design •  Kalghatgi has shown

•  OI = RON – K*S

•  K is negative for most modern engines due to down-sizing, turbo-charging, down-speeding, intercooling, and EGR

•  Fuel with greater sensitivity has a

higher OI and can allow engines to operate more efficiently.

•  Low load GCI operation is better for

fuels with a higher OI. Vuilleumier,Dibble,Sarathy,Berkeley/KAUST,2015

•  Controversial literature on the impact of ethanol on CO2 emissions.

•  Ethanol can improve fuel quality and engine efficiency, besides biogenic carbon offset.

•  No previous lifecycle emission studies have accounted for these engine benefits.

•  Quantified lifecycle CO2 emission of ethanol blended gasoline from well-to-wheel.

–  RON, sensitivity, EtOH%, ethanol source, and engine operating conditions considered.

•  Identified optimal blend for turbocharged engines.

•  The CO2 emissions from fuel production, transportation and combustion are considered.

•  Fuel composition is optimized in PIMS for various fuel standards (RON, MON, etc.).

•  Emission is assessed on a component-dependent basis in GREET. •  Additional emission benefit from ethanol blending is quantified

through improved engine efficiency.
