Abstract: The preparation of new-style Solid Alcohol Fuel has been studied. Various influences on the properties of solid alcohol fuel have been discussed. The optimum reaction temperature is 70℃, and the best formulation is composed of 1.30% by weight dispersant, 4.76% by weight stearic acid, 0.62% by weight sodium hydroxide, 90.73% by weight industrial alcohol and 2.59% by weight distilled water. The solid alcohol fuel prepared under this condition has a melting point of 52℃,a heat value of -28.47kJ/g,the highest temperature of flame is 718℃.The solid alcohol is an environmental-friend fuel, its produce has no black smoke or harmful gas. From combustion experiment, an equation of combustion velocity has been educed, showing the quantitative combustion law of solid alcohol fuel.
