This monograph is based on methanol as a fuel for transportation sector, specifically for compression ignition (CI) engines. The contents present examples of utilization of methanol as a fuel for CI engines in different modes of transportation such as railroad, personal vehicles or heavy duty road transportation. The book also focuses on effect of methanol on combustion and performance characteristics of the engine. The effect of methanol on exhaust emission production, prediction and control is also discussed. It also discusses current methanol utilization and its potential, its effect on the engine in terms of efficiency, combustion, performance, pollutants formation and prediction. Part of the chapters are based on review of state-of-the-art while other chapters are dedicated to an original research. This volume will be a useful guide to professionals and academics involved in alternative fuels, compression ignition engines, and environmental research.

Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal joined the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India in 2001 after working as a post-doctoral fellow at the Engine Research Center, University of Wisconsin at Madison, USA. His interests are IC engines, combustion, alternate and conventional fuels, lubricating oil tribology, optical diagnostics, laser ignition, HCCI, emissions and particulate control, and large bore engines. Prof. Agarwal has published 290+ peer reviewed international journal and conference papers, 42 edited books, 78 books chapters and has 10000+ Scopus and 15300+ Google scholar citations. He is a Fellow of SAE (2012), Fellow of ASME (2013), Fellow of ISEES (2015), Fellow of INAE (2015), Fellow of NASI (2018), Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2018), and a Fellow of American Association of Advancement in Science (2020). He is recipient of several prestigious awards such as Clarivate Analytics India Citation Award-2017 in Engineering and Technology,NASI-Reliance Industries Platinum Jubilee Award-2012; INAE Silver Jubilee Young Engineer Award-2012; Dr. C. V. Raman Young Teachers Award: 2011; SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award -2008; INSA Young Scientist Award-2007; UICT Young Scientist Award-2007; INAE Young Engineer Award-2005. Prof. Agarwal received Prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award-2016 in Engineering Sciences. For his outstanding contributions, Prof. Agarwal is conferred upon Sir J C Bose National Fellowship (2019) by SERB.  Hardikk Valera is currently pursuing his Ph.D. from Engine Research Laboratory (ERL), Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India. He completed his M.Tech and B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Jalandhar and Ganpat University, respectively. His research interests include methanol fueled SI engines, methanol fuelled CI engines, optical diagnostics, fuel spray characterization and emission control from engines. Dr. Jakub Čedík is assistant professor at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Department for Quality and Dependability of Machines where he teaches course on Operability of Machines, Quality, Dependability and Logistics of Machines, Technology of Maintenance and Repairs of Machines. He is also a researcher at Research Institute of Agriculture Engineering, Prague, Czech Republic. His research interests include biofuels, exhaust emissions, energy demands and operation of internal combustion engines of vehicles and agriculture machinery, issues of agricultural machinery and motor vehicles. He is author or co-author of more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific publications. Prof. Martin Pexa is an associate professor in the field of energetics at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Department for Quality and Dependability of Machines. His research work is focused on the issue of diagnosis and maintenance of machines, especially in the field energy and diagnosis of motor vehicles. As part of his activities, he regularly reviews the contributions into databases Web of Science and Scopus. He also publishes contributions in international scientific journals and conferences.
