solving the problem of applying methanol in large-displacement engines is the "dual fuel combustion" method. First, a homogeneous mixture of methanol and air is formed, and after it is compressed to a high temperature, methanol is injected again to achieve compression ignition. This method uses the diesel cycle, which has a significantly higher thermal efficiency than the conventional Otto cycle, making it suitable for high-power engines. Advanta...
