In order to realize carbon neutrality of automotive engine, a new methanol engine concept and framework with the master cylinder and auxiliary cylinder working cooperated with each other is proposed, it integrates internal combustion Rankin cycle, charge transit between cylinders, store energy in gas and fuel reforming technologies. The literature research method is used to analyze the thermo-chemical reforming process of methanol in the activated atmosphere of exhaust gas. With internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), the methanol is reformed to H2, CO and CH4 in the main cylinder to realize the mixture combusts in fusion of methanol and hydrogen. At the same time, the heat of exhaust gas, absorbed by the methanol, is converted into methanol combustion energy. The exhaust gas of the master cylinder is introduced into the auxiliary cylinder to continue combusting. The auxiliary cylinder not only continues the combusting of the master cylinder, but also acts as the post processor of the master cylinder combustion,and the combustion energy is recycled in multiple stages, so as to achieve efficient and clean combusting of the engine.
With the rapid development of domestic economy, there are more and more heavy duty trucks in China. However, the blind area of heavy duty trucks caused a great loss of accidents, among which the right turn blind area is main reason for the accident. In order to reduce the accidnets caused by right turn blind area and provide a solution, under the premise of using AI technology automatic control system, without the traditional way of alerting drivers only by buzzing alarm device. In this paper, a system that contains a millimeter radar and dual voice system aims to warn pedestrians and drivers of impending traffic accident and reduce the probability of accident.
