Kurzbeschreibung
Dieses umfangreiche, übersichtliche Handbuch beantwortet Ihre Fragen zu den wichtigsten Typen von Treibstoffen für Automobile, Luft- und Wasserfahrzeuge. Der Weg des Treibstoffs wird von der Erdölraffination über den Zusatz verschiedener Additive bis zur Anwendung von Abgaskatalysatoren verfolgt. Auch alternative Treibstoffe wie Ethanol und Methanol sowie Brennstoffzellen werden diskutiert. Nicht nur Studenten und Fachleute aus der Industrie, sondern auch Journalisten können sich mit diesem Band einen schnellen Überblick über den Stand der technologischen Entwicklung verschaffen.
