Alternative motor fuels. Properties and quality: Text-book

The textbook outlines the basics of the theory and practice of rational use of alternative motor fuels. The use of alternative motor fuels is positioned as a way to expand the energy resource base, strengthen the energy security of the state, and also as one of the ways to reduce the impact on the environment. An educational and methodological base has been created for students to acquire knowledge and skills in rationally making optimal decisions regarding the justification and selection of alternative fuels in each specific case of operation of technical means of transport and energy facilities. The fundamental knowledge is based on the chemical concept of the life cycle of fuel, its quality and relationship with operational properties, as well as technical characteristics of equipment. The textbook is intended for higher education students of various levels, whose specialty is related to the topic of rational use of alternative motor fuels. In addition, the textbook will be useful for engineering and technical workers in the oil refining and fuel supply industries, energy, energy and industrial mechanical engineering, and environmental protection.
