Mass Fraction Burn Comparison of Compressed Natural Gas and Gasoline

Vehicle efficiency relates to pollutants and cost savings in third world countries. In term of subcompact cars, the vehicle characteristics are governed by the engine for alternative fuels. The main focus of this paper is to evaluate a sub compact car engine for its performance and burn rate of gaso...
