how does a deisel engine work?

Answer 1

if you learn to spell it, you can look it up at google.com :)

Answer 2

It works on the same principles as a petrol engine, i.e. diesel is injected as a fine mist into a cylinder a piston inside the cylinder (which is connected to a crankweb via a piston rod) compresses the fine diesel mist until such a point that the mixture of diesel and air combusts creating a small explosion which pushes the piston down. There are more than one piston in an internal combustion engine however and while this one is being pushed down another is coming up to keep the cycle going. All pistons are connected to a axle which turns the reciprocating motion of the piston in to circular motion and your car wheels go round hey presto!! P.S diesel engines do not have spark plugs as the ignition of the duiesel is made by the increased temperature caused by the compression stage. : )

Answer 3

A diesel engine runs at very high compression if you put a bicycle pump on the end of your thumb it gets hot and its similar to a diesel the air is compressed so much in the combustion chamber that it hits 600 degrees centigrade then diesel is sprayed in the bores in a fine mist this will self ignite at 400 degrees it will then force the piston down at this point the same process will happen in another cylinder.

Answer 4

Rudolph Diesel's engine works by compressing atomised heavy oil approx twice the ratio of that needed for petrol engines. At that pressure ignition by a spark is not needed. During the first world war conflict, war tanks were using petrol engines and exploding alarmingly too easy during battle hence the reason for finding an engine that required a less volatile fuel.

Answer 5

All diesels work on the same principle, combustion ignition , diesel fuel by design combusts at around roughly 360lbs per square inch pressure . so all diesel engine compressions normals work on a pressure of 450lbs , That's means that the diesel explodes when the piston reaches just about a quarter of an inch before top dead centre . ideal to give maximum thrust to the engine, this you understand is very simplistic but it gives you a rough outline to its operation

Answer 6

Compression on a diesel engine is about two to three times that of a gasoline engine and that is required to compress the mixture enough to ignite without a spark.

Answer 7

Similar to a gasoline engine, with the exception that the compression is considerably higher than a gasoline engine (usually about 18.0:1). The fuel, and high compression is the ignition source as opposed to the spark plug(s) on a gasoline engine.

Answer 8

Deisel in = wheels go round

Answer 9

there's no electronic ignition wtih spark plugs to ignite the fuel. instead the diesel engines have much higher compression that ignites the fuel

Answer 10

Diesel combusts under pressure, and therefore it doesn't need a spark to generate movement.

Answer 11

santas little helpers compress the air and creates a spark and the wheels go round n round, round n round
