Exploring fuel-metal compatibility behaviors and mechanisms for methanol and ammonia fueled engines

Key Points

• Fuel-metal compatibility affects overall engine performance and durability, particularly under corrosive conditions.
• Key findings reveal that methanol and ammonia have distinct corrosion mechanisms impacting metals used in engines.
• This observational analysis explores the interactions between fuels and metals under varying conditions of engine operation.
• The results imply that understanding these mechanisms can lead to improved fuel formulations and engine designs.
