Covering the chemical structures and properties of fuels and fuel additives, Fuels and Fuels-Additives provides the science and technology involved in the production of energy efficient and environmentally friendly fuels and the role that fuel additives have in this process. This single source guide on fuels and fuel additives contains the most up-to-date coverage and requirements of the fuels including US and EU standards in automotive emissions, fuel quality and specifications, alternate fuels, biofuels, antioxidants, stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors, and polymeric fuel additives.
Examines all stages of fuel production, from feedstocks to finished products
Exploring chemical structures and properties, this book sheds new light on the current science and technology of producing energy efficient and environmentally friendly fuels. Moreover, it explains the role of fuel-additives in the production cycle. This expertly written and organized guide to fuels and fuel-additives also presents requirements, rules and regulations, including US and EU standards governing automotive emissions, fuel quality and specifications, alternate fuels, biofuels, antioxidants, deposit control detergents/dispersants, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, and polymeric fuel-additives.
Fuels and Fuel-Additives covers all stages and facets of the production of engine fuels as well as heating and fuel oils. The book begins with a quick portrait of the future of fuels and fuel production. Then, it sets forth the regulations controlling exhaust gas emissions and fuel quality from around the world. Next, the book covers:
Processing of engine fuels derived from crude oil, including the production of blending components
Production of alternative fuels
Fuel-additives for automotive engines
Blending of fuels
Key properties of motor fuels and their effects on engines and the environment
Aviation fuels
The final chapter of the book deals with fuel oils and marine fuels. Each chapter is extensively referenced, providing a gateway to the primary and secondary literature in the field. At the end of the book, a convenient glossary defines all the key terms used in the book.
Examining the full production cycle from feedstocks to final products, Fuels and Fuel-Additives is recommended for students, engineers, and scientists working in fuels and energy production.
