| 摘要 |
This application relates to synthetic fuels and to a method of running compression ignition engines into which the fuels are injected or inducted. The fuels comprise mixtures of (A) at least one alcohol with an average molecular weight of less than 160 and (B) at least one further organic compound having a spontaneous ignition temperature of less than 450 DEG C. Suitable alcohols (component (A)) include methanol, ethanol, propanols, isopropanol, butancl. The further organic compound or compounds (component (B)) may be selected from a wide range of compounds including alcohols, ethers, aldehydes for example acetaldehyde compounds containing one or more nitrate groups and one or more ether linkages for example 2-ethoxyethyl nitrate, and nitrogen-containing organic compounds including azo compounds tetrazines, nitroso compounds, nitro compounds, certain nitrate compounds and hyponitrites. |
