Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A vital source for anyone working on alternative energy sources, this volume describes the latest production methods from various biomass sources, such as corn, wood, and landfill waste for different alcohol fuel types, including ethanol and butanol. The book examines the history of the technology and the potential for decreasing our dependency on oil and environmentally toxic power sources. It also discusses future opportunities and challenges for utilizing alcoholic fuels and provides current and reliable data comparing the performance and the environmental impact of various alcoholic fuels. Applications discussed include fuel cells, reformers, and generators.
MoreLong description:
Scientists and engineers have made significant advances over the last two decades to achieve feasible, cost-efficient processes for the large-scale production of alternative, environmentally friendly sources of energy. Alcoholic Fuels describes the latest methods for producing fuels containing varying percentages of alcohol alongside the various applications they benefit, including combustion engines, fuel cells, and miniature power generators.
Written by experts and innovators in the field,the chapters address the development and application of all alcoholic fuels, from production to end use. The first section of the book examines the production of methanol, ethanol, and butanol from several biomass sources, including corn, wood, and landfill waste. The second section explores blended fuels, such as E10, E85, and E-Diesel, and the third section focuses on applications of the different alcohol fuel types, including fuel cells, reformers, and generators. The book concludes with a discussion of the future production, use, and impact of alcohol-based fuels on society.
Alcoholic Fuels provides a timely and practical source of information for chemists, engineers, and scientists working with alternative energy sources as well as managers, policymakers, and consumers considering the use and implementation of alcoholic fuels in automobiles and other energy conversion devices.
?This book is therefore timely in providing for the first time a comprehensive review of the production of alcohols, their use as fuels in internal combustion engines , and also of more advanced concepts such as fuel cells and fuel cell powered portable energy applications. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers.?
--Gary Acres in Platinum Metal Reviews, 2007, Vol. 51
?This book is a very good readable reference book.?
--V.V. Mahajani, in the Chemical Industry Digest, February 2007
