The Impacts of Moisture Content on Performance and Emissions of a Four-Cylinder SI Engine Running with Fusel Oil-Gasoline Blends

Biofuels from Biomass are meant to decrease significantly dependence on fossil oil and reduce the environmental influences in energy use. Fusel oil one of biofuel that composed of a mixture of alcohols. Fusel oil obtained by-product during fermentation of agricultural products such as beet, cone, sw...
