主　　题：Natural gas Alcohols Biodiesel Safety Plateau 

摘      要：Alternative fuels including natural gas,alcohols and biodiesel for transport vehicles have been applied ***,the performance and safety of alternative fuel vehicles have changed when the application environment varies from plain condition to the plateau,resulting from the variation of air density and atmospheric *** gasfueled vehicles exhibited lower output and greater fuel consumption than gasoline-fueled vehicles in plateau *** oxygenated additives including alcohols and biodiesel can supply extra oxygen into the cylinder,which may benefit the engine performances compared with traditional petroleum in plateau ***,compared with plain environment,vehicles fueled with oxygenated fuels worsen the engine thermal efficiency,the power performance and the fuel economy in the *** the increase of altitude,HC and CO emissions increase;whereas NO_(x)emissions show no evident change at various *** boosting,spark or injection timing optimization,and intake manifold optimization can effectively improve the combustion and performance of vehicles in the *** is another significant factor for application of alternative *** with plain environment,safeties of vehicles fueled with natural gas or biodiesel in the plateau have not been reduced,whereas safety of methanol and ethanol vehicles decrease,because they are easier to form air fuel mixture,have lower flash points,and have higher possibilities of gas *** study proves that the performance and safety and alternative fuel vehicles deteriorate when the application locale varies from the plain region to the plateau region.
