A study on cold startability and mixture formation of high-percentage methanol blends

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6448123
; ; ; ;
The poor cold startability is one of the problems in using methanol as the fuel for Otto-type engines. A method for solving this problem is to mix some additives for cold start improvement. The effects of various additives and their concentrations on the improvement of cold startability were studied.
