One large disadvantage of methanol is that it has a lower energydensity than gasoline. Using equivalent volumes of gasoline and methanol, methanol givesabout half the mileage of gasoline. Another problem with methanol is its low vapor pressure,resulting in starting problems on cold days. This ...

Methanol is an excellent fuel in its own right or it can be blended with gasoline (85% methanol and 15% gasoline) or as pure methanol (100% methanol), although it has half the volumetric energy density of gasoline or diesel [7,15,16,65–67]. Methanol is a transportation fuel and has...
The volumetric energydensityof the fuel is an importantparametersince it directly affectsthe size of the fuel storage system of tile vehicle. Unfortunately, all of the alternative fuels are less energy dense per volume compared to gasoline (Table 1). It is noticedthat dieselfuel is the only ...

The fuel quantity injected for M85 is roughly twice that of gasoline, because methanol has approximately half the energy density as compared to gasoline. It was also observed that at around 60% throttle opening, the injection opening duration graphs intersected and not increased significantly with ...
The density of glacial acetic acid is 1.05 g/cm^3. ChemiePham Thread Oct 23, 2009 Tags Acid Methanol Prepare Replies: 4 Forum: Chemistry Why is methanol used in race engines? The enthalpy of formation of methanol (-22.7 KJ/g) is about half that of octane (-47.8 KJ/g). But ...
HIGHER FLAMMABILITY REQUIREMENT 起燃点高 Methanol vapor must be four times more concentrated in air than gasoline vapor for ignition to occur. 甲醇开始燃烧需要空气中的蒸汽浓度比汽油高四倍 ? LOWER VAPOR DENSITY低蒸汽密度 Gasoline vapor is two to five times denser than air, so it tends to travel...
