the same in the four-stroke diesel engine, which is thus also an Otto-cycle engine (there is also something called the two-stroke engine, as well as a six-stroke engine both of which I shall write about at some future date).
As diesel engines have a higher compression ratio, this leads to a more efficient engine cycle as compared to petrol. Moreover, diesel has a larger chain of hydrocarbons than volatile petrol and releases more energy on combustion. All these factors allow diesel engines to offer better fuel econo...
a greater capability to do work. The steady ignition has another advantage: it ensures the fuel is leveraged. The amount of chemical energy converted into mechanical energy by a diesel engine is far greater than that of a petrol engine. Consequently, the efficiency of a diesel engine is far ...
The combustion process in a diesel engine uses a high compression ratio, which calls for the use of heavier materials for the engine’s construction to withstand greater wear and tear. Petrol engines, on the other hand, use lower compression ratios, allowing the use of lighter materials in the...
The internal combustion engine using petrol or diesel as the fuel source has water injected into the combustion chamber following the fuel combustion stroke, when the piston is at the bottom end of its stroke and the valves are closed. The water injection leads to an implosion and the piston ...

athe fundamental difference between petrol and diesel engines is that in the petrol the source of heat for igniting the charge,namely,an electric spark,is generated outside the engine,and is taken,as it were,into the waiting charge at the required instant 在汽油和柴油引擎之间的根本区别那在汽油...

The HCCI engine ignites a mixture of fuel and air by compressing it in the cylinder. Unlike aspark ignition petrol or diesel engine, HCCI produces a low – temperature,flameless release of energy throughout the entire combustion chamber. All of the fuel in the chamber is burned simultaneously....
The cost of petrol and diesel have been unstable over the last few years, with prices dipping up and down since the massive hikes we saw in 2022. Although prices have come down since then, they’re still higher than what they were ten years ago. One reason why fuel is much more expen...
