Alternative fuel and gasoline in an SI engine: A comparative study of performance and emissions characteristics
TLDR
In this paper, the performance and emissions of a given SI engine fueled by alternative fuels including hydrogen, propane, methane, ethanol, and methanol were compared with those in conventional fueled engines and it was concluded that volumetric efficiency of the engine working on hydrogen is the lowest (28% less that gasoline fueled engine), gasoline produce more power than the all being tested alternative fuels and BSFC of methanoline is 91% higher than that of gasoline while BSFCof hydrogen is 63% less than gasoline.About:
