Injection and Evaporation of 100% methanol: Experimental and simulation-based research into the injection and evaporation of 100% methanol for use in a port-injected spark-ignited ICE

The maritime sector faces major challenges to reduce its impact on global warming. The use of methanol as a fuel alternative is considered one of the more promising options to be implemented in a relatively short to medium time frame; based on the potential availability, emission reduction, energy density, potential to be synthetically produced,...

Experimental and simulation-based investigation of the performance of a 100 % methanol port-injected spark-ignited engine

The maritime sector faces major challenges with increasing regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and national regulations for CO2, SOx and NOx. Innovative fuel types for maritime use are now under development by various stakeholders. Methanol shows considerable potential as one of the most promising for implementation in...
