Corrosive characteristics of bioethanol and gasoline blends for metals
Corrosive characteristics of lignocellulosic bioethanol on metals, such as mild steel, copper, and aluminum were studied by static immersion test at room temperature. Effect of metals on degradation of fuel properties, such as pHe, total acid number, acidity, density, viscosity, calorific value, fla...
