Evaluation of the Economic Efficiency of Various Alternative Fuels in Transport

The paper deals with the evaluation of a comparative economic efficiency of various alternative and mixed fuels' application. The method of calculating the efficiency of the use of alternative fuels on reduction the economic damage to the national economy pollution environment of the country was proposed. The results of theoretical studies confirming the feasibility of the method of calculation are given. The authors conducted the comparative analysis of the indicators of work fuel injection equipment and diesel as a whole based on change of the mean values of the effective eta(e) and the eta(i) efficiency indicator. The variants of preservation of the identity of the law of the heat flow in the cylinders of a diesel engine for work on alternative fuels and clean diesel fuel are proposed.
