...Benefits such as higher efficiency and specific power and lower emissions may be realized with alcohols: their high octane number gives the ability to operate at higher compression ratio without preignition [5]; their greater latent heat of vaporization gives a higher charge density [1-3, 6]; and their higher laminar flame speed allows them to be run with leaner, or more dilute, air/fuel mixtures [7]....

...without knock [11]; the evaporation heat of methanol is 3e5 times higher than that of gasoline, which makes the temperature of the intake manifolds lower, and increases the volumetric efficiency [12]....
