Problems solved by technology

Effectively, since ethanol-based fuels have lower energy, pollution is generally increased per mile.
It is a kinetic parameter, therefore difficult to predict.
This translates to aircraft range and to specific fuel consumption.
Aircraft cannot compromise range due to the sensitivity of their missions.

4-Cycle Engine Fuel

[0047]17.5 grams of ethyl acetate were mixed with 17.5 grams of 2-methyl furan. 60 grams of mesitylene were then added, followed by 5 grams of corn oil, to form 100 grams of fuel of the present invention. The mixture was stirred until all components were dissolved. The resulting solution was then analyzed, and found to have an effective MON of 142, and an optimum mixture ratio of 14.2 based on mass. This fuel has been effectively demonstrated in low and high compression reciprocating aviation engines.

Abstract

The present invention provides fully renewable engine fuels derived completely from biomass sources. The fully renewable engine fuel is comprised of one or more low carbon number esters, one or more pentosan-derivable furans, one or more aromatic hydrocarbon, one or more C4-C10 straight chain alkanes derivable from polysaccharides, and one or more bio-oils. In addition, the fuel may contain triethanolamine. Such a lower octane renewable fuel may be utilized, for example, in automobile fuel, 100 LL aviation fuel applications, and turbine engine applications. These ethanol-based, fully renewable fuels may be formulated to have a wide range of octane values and energy, and may effectively be used to replace 100LL aviation fuel (known as AvGas), as well as high octane, rocket, diesel, and turbine engine fuels.

Description

[0001]This is a corresponding non-provisional patent application of co-pending provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 833,589, filed Jul. 27, 2007.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates in general to an engine fuel produced from renewable materials and, in particular, the present invention provides a non-petroleum based fuel produced fully from renewable materials. The fuel of the present invention may be formulated into a variety of octane ratings, including a high octane rating used in aviation fuels, as well as lower octane ratings utilized in automobile and truck applications. Further, the components that make the effective renewable fuel can be mixed to form jet turbine and diesel fuels.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Ethanol-based fuels for internal combustion engines have been available for roughly five decades. The State of California originated mandatory oxygenation of motor fuels, which includes ethanol-based fuels, partly to decrease the wholesale cost of...
