==Description==<br />
<blockquote><q>Alcohol is a relatively safe and versatile volatile liquid at room temperatures. When exposed to vacuum it will decompose into [[Methane]] to form a small head pressure.</q><br><br />
'''- Stationpedia'''</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Alcohol has the highest enthalpy of combustion per mol of all [[Fuel]]s at 418 kJ/mol, but the high amounts of [[Water|Steam]] generated as combustion byproducts limit its maximum achievable combustion temperature.<br />
<br>Alcohol has a specific heat of 63 J/mol*K and a latent heat of 18000 J/mol making it a potential water substitute for [[Coolant|cooling]] applications, where its latent heat of evaporation exceeds even that of [[Silanol]]. <br />
<br>It is also relatively safe to be used in a [[Pressure-Fed Liquid Engine]] with [[Nitrous Oxide]] because it autoignites at 150°C.<br />
<br>However, it evaporates into [[Methane]] which autoignites at a lower temperature.<br />
<br />
== Combustion ==<br />
*1 mol Alc + 3 mol O2 -> 2 mol CO2 + 2 mol H2O + 418 kJ (Autoignites at 400°C)<br />
*1 mol Alc + 2 mol N2O -> 4 mol N2 + 2 mol H2O + 836 kJ (Autoignites at 150°C)<br />
*1 mol Alc + 2 mol O3 -> 1 mol CO2 + 3 mol H2O + 836 kJ (Autoignites at 250°C)<br />
<br />
== Sources ==<br />
Alcohol is planned to be obtained by fermenting [[Biomass]] or [[Decayed Food]] in a machine currently not present ingame[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Qk14wsDTo].<br />
