The textbook “Alternative Motor Fuels: Properties and Quality” has been published. The textbook was prepared by the department’s staff – Professor Serhii Boichenko and Senior Researcher Anna Yakovlieva – together with Iryna Shkilniuk, PhD in Engineering, Head of the DEMET Research Laboratory of the Educational and Research Institute of Energy Efficiency, in collaboration with representatives of Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute, Dnipro University of Science and Technology, Lviv Polytechnic National University, as well as our stakeholders Andrii Pushak and Viktoriia Ribun.
The textbook presents the fundamentals of the theory and practice of the rational use of alternative motor fuels. The use of alternative motor fuels is positioned as a means of expanding the energy resource base, strengthening the state’s energy security, and reducing environmental impact. An educational and methodological framework has been developed to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills for making well-grounded and optimal decisions regarding the justification and selection of alternative fuels in each specific case of operation of transport equipment and energy facilities. The fundamental knowledge is based on the chemotological concept of the fuel life cycle, its quality, and its relationship with performance properties as well as the technical characteristics of equipment.
The textbook is intended for higher education students at various levels whose fields of study are related to the rational use of alternative motor fuels. In addition, it will be useful for engineering and technical specialists in oil refining and fuel supply, the energy sector, power and industrial engineering, and environmental protection.
The publication has been approved by the Academic Council of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as a textbook for students in the specialties G3 – Electrical Engineering, G1 – Chemical Technologies and Engineering, and G11 – Mechanical Engineering.
