In this study, high-speed back-illuminated imaging and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) methods were employed to investigate the impingement behavior of millimeter-sized single isooctane drops on a dry solid wall and various liquid films, including isooctane and glycerol solution films of different concentrations. Various fuel spray impingement scenarios in gasoline direct injection engines were examined. High-speed back-illuminated imaging was primarily used to examine the impact of fuel drops on a dry wall and a fuel film of the same composition as the drops. The LIF method was used to examine the impact of fuel drops on the glycerol solution film, allowing for the distinction between fuel drops and the glycerol solution film. The impingement behavior varied depending on the Weber number of the incident drop and the wall condition. When fuel drops impacted the solid dry wall vertically, they spread into a circular liquid film. The outer edge of the liquid film folded and bulged, and

This paper presents an innovative study in exploring, evaluating, and implementing deep-learning architectures for the calibration of multimodal sensor systems. The aim of this paper is to leverage the use of sensor fusion to achieve dynamic, real-time alignment between 3D LiDAR and 2D camera sensors. Static calibration methods are tedious and time-consuming, which is why we propose utilizing conventional neural networks (CNNs) coupled with geometrically informed learning to solve this issue. We leverage the foundational principles of extrinsic LiDAR–camera calibration tools such as RegNet, CalibNet, and LCCNet by exploring open-source models that are available online and compare our results with their corresponding research papers. Requirements for extracting these visual and measurable outputs involved tweaking source code, fine-tuning, training, validation, and testing of each of these frameworks for equal comparisons. This approach aims to investigate which of these advanced

The purpose of this document is to establish guidelines for determining the critical R134a and R1234yf refrigerant charge for off-road, self-propelled work machines as defined in SAE J1116 and agricultural tractors as defined in ANSI/ASAE S390. It will develop a minimum to maximum refrigerant charge range in which the HVAC system can maintain proper operation. Operating conditions and characteristics of the equipment will influence the optimum charge. Since these conditions and characteristics vary greatly from one application to another, careful consideration should be taken to determine the optimum R134a and R1234yf refrigerant charge for the HVAC system.

This work aims to investigate how disturbance-aware, robustness-embedding reference trajectories translate into actual driving performance when executed by professional drivers in a dynamic driving simulator. The study compares three planned reference trajectories against a free-driving baseline (NO-REF) to assess the trade-offs between lap time (LT) performance and steering effort: NOM, the nominal time-optimal trajectory; TLC, a track-limit-robust, time-optimal trajectory obtained by tightening margins to the track edges; and FLC, a friction-limit-robust, time-optimal trajectory obtained by tightening against axle/tire saturation. All reference trajectories share the same minimum LT objective with a small steering-smoothness regularizer, and are evaluated with two professional drivers driving a high-performance car on a virtual track. The reference trajectories stem from a disturbance-aware minimum-LT framework recently proposed by some of the authors, where worst-case disturbance

This paper uses a structured evaluation framework to study the ergonomics of electric pilot seats in modern civil aircraft. We have established a multi-level indicator system to examine the adjustability, pressure distribution, dynamic response and, fatigue relief effect of the seat. All experimental data were obtained from a full-scale cockpit simulator environment, where a ground-based mock-up and motion-free simulated cockpit were used to replicate real operational posture, control-reach conditions, and long-duration mission loads. This framework combines experimental measurement and fuzzy evaluation techniques to quantify the quality of human-computer interaction. Test results show that compared with ordinary seats, the prototype seat has a wider adjustment range, a more uniform pressure distribution, and a smoother dynamic response. It is particularly worth mentioning that it can delay the emergence of fatigue during long-term operation, which proves the advantages of the electric

Hemisphere resonant gyroscope (HRG) is a new type of vibration gyroscope with high precision, high reliability, and long lifespan. Improving the temperature stability of a hemispherical resonant gyroscope (HRG) has profound implications for navigation and guidance systems as well as airborne sensor technology. By optimizing temperature compensation algorithms or improving material thermal properties, the angular velocity measurement error caused by temperature drift can be significantly reduced, thereby improving the long-term positioning reliability of navigation systems in extreme temperature fluctuation scenarios. This article starts with the structure of the hemispherical resonant gyroscope, studies the temperature characteristics of the hemispherical resonator through formula theory, verifies and analyzes the temperature characteristics of the hemispherical resonant gyroscope through experiments, and designs a temperature compensation scheme.

Traffic flow prediction is of great significance for improving the operation efficiency of the transportation system, optimizing travel experience and reducing traffic congestion. Traditional traffic flow prediction methods are difficult to capture the spatio-temporal nonlinear characteristics of traffic flow due to its simple model and insufficient feature extraction ability. Therefore, an intelligent traffic flow prediction system based on deep learning is proposed, constructs a deep learning model based on graph convolution and fusion of attention mechanism LSTM. Based on this, a traffic flow prediction system is implemented. Experiments show that, on the PeMSD4 and PeMSD4 datasets, the error of the model in RMSE and Mae indicators is significantly reduced compared with the traditional methods, which provides an efficient solution for traffic flow prediction and congestion analysis, and has both theoretical innovation and engineering practical value.

The airflow characteristics of engine intake ports significantly influence combustion efficiency and emission performance. This study investigates the effects of an eccentric chamfer structure at the seat ring bottom hole on the swirl ratio and flow coefficient in a dual-tangential intake port for a four-valve diesel engine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and steady flow experiments were conducted under valve lifts ranging from 1 mm to 9 mm. Results indicate that the eccentric chamfer structure enhances the swirl ratio by 39 times (from 0.12 to 4.73) at low valve lifts (<6 mm) without compromising the flow coefficient. At higher lifts (>6 mm), both chamfer designs exhibit negligible differences in performance. Experimental validation confirmed the CFD results, with errors below 3% for swirl ratio and 5% for flow coefficient. This work provides a practical approach to optimize low-speed engine performance through geometric modifications.

The compensation rope is a special steel wire rope used as a driving component in the ratchet device. The compensation rope will endure severe random cycling loading during service time, which will lead to fatigue failures and catastrophic disasters. Experimental studies are hard to mimic the practical working conditions and time consuming, therefore, this study establishes a finite element model of the compensation rope and simulates the stress distribution under axial tensile and bending loads. Fatigue life is analysed based on both stress and strain fatigue theories under alternating tensile and bending loads. The results indicate that under axial tensile loads, the stress in the outermost wires of the core strands of the compensation rope is the largest, with the minimum fatigue life. As the stress ratio of the alternating tensile load increases, the fatigue life also improves due to smaller stress amplitudes. Under the conditions of bending loads, the outermost wires of the

The way we drive has a big effect on how much energy electric cars use, so making better driving habits can help make electric cars use less energy. By utilizing a set of real EV driving data, this paper classifies and analyzes EVs from the perspective of energy consumption, and establishes an intelligent scoring system for EV driving behavior based on a decision tree model. Experimental results show that this method is able to successfully distinguish different driving behaviours and the critical driving behavior factors, such as vehicle speed, accelerator pedal change rate, etc., and braking behavior are identified. Use intelligent scoring to give driver suggestions; this way, they can improve on their driving techniques and lower their energy consumption.
