Ethanol Biofuel in Combustion Engines: From Production to Practical Applications provides an in-depth review of the combustion characteristics of ethanol as a biofuel, with a focus on its chemical reactions and kinetic models, as well as its potential usage in spark ignition, compression ignition and low-temperature combustion engines. This book also covers ethanol production technologies and physico-chemical properties. Along with its companion volume on Methanol, Ethanol Biofuel in Combustion Engines is a valuable resource for biofuel researchers and scientists, automotive engineers and technologists, policymakers, environmentalists, and students studying in these and related fi elds.

Biofuel Perspectives: Methanol and Ethanol in Combustion Engines from Production to Practical Application provides a detailed and in-depth review of the combustion characteristics of methanol and ethanol as biofuels, with a focus on their chemical reactions and kinetic models, as well as on their combustion experiments in laboratory devices and usage in real engines. The book also covers methanol and ethanol production technologies and their physico-chemical properties. Users will find a complete and consolidated resource on methanol and ethanol biofuels that will be a valuable resource for biofuel researchers and scientists, automotive engineers, technologists, policymakers, environmentalists, and students.

A successful construction business is a knowledge business. And knowledge must be managed effectively to be used efficiently, especially in a complex project-oriented business such as construction, where skills acquired and lessons learned on one project need to be applied to the next.A holistic approach to knowledge management (KM) is taken in this book to incorporate all of the relevant themes, tackling technological, socio-cultural and organizational issues, with the creation of value as a focus throughout. Information is drawn from a broad range of sources to explain core theories and provide guidance on practical application. Topics covered include:changing business relationships in a knowledge economyknowledge creation processes and theoriesdata, text and knowledge mining techniquesthe learning construction organizationfuture technology for knowledge management.Written by the authors of the first EU-funded KM research project in the field of construction, this textbook is uniquely well-researched, and is the perfect introduction to KM for students across the built environment. It is also a crucial guide to the topic for practitioners.
