of the Common Rail Diesel Engine To be honest‚ I don’t really know too much about the history or the functions and operations of a diesel engine‚ but I am excited about learning more about it through this assignment and when we go to study it in detail during class. History The evolution of Diesel injections actually began from the invention of the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine wasn’t very efficient‚ even worse than the steam engine. Only around 10% of

2013 The Diesel Engine: Making a Comeback The diesel engine has provided the world with cheap and efficient power for over one hundred years. The invention was first thought up by Rudolph Diesel in 1892. He wanted to create an engine that would be more efficient than the steam engine‚ which was only 12% efficient. He filed for a patent in Germany in February of 1892. He was granted a patent for a “Working Method and Design for Combustion Engines...new efficient‚ thermal engine” (History)

Diesel engines and unleaded fuel engines better known as gasoline engines are actually very similar. They are both internal combustion engines which is to convert the chemical energy in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft‚ and the up-and-down motion of the pistons‚ known as linear motion‚ creates a force to the flywheel the from the flywheel to the transmission. The working principle of diesel engines

| Starting air system for diesel engine - how it works Function of starting air system Diesel engines are started by supplying compressed air into the cylinders in the appropriate sequence for the required direction. A supply of compressed air is stored in air reservoirs or ’bottles’ ready for immediate use. Up to 12 starts are possible with the stored quantity of compressed air. The starting air system usually has interlocks to prevent starting if everything is not in order. A starting air system

Gas engines versus diesel engines have been a long time opponent. Each has its own pros and cons but its really what your needs demand. Power and torque is a big player in this. If you want higher horsepower and fast acceleration‚ a gas engine is for you. If you need to tow objects and need a lot of low-end power a diesel engine would suit you. Fuel economy can play a bigger part in your decision. Diesel engines usually have a better fuel economy rating because of the way they don’t waste fuel during

POLLUTION FROM DIESEL ENGINES AND ITS CONTROL Diesel engines and gasoline engines are the most widely used primary sources of power in automobiles and the sheer number of them makes the issue of emissions from these engines an important one. Table 1 gives a comparison of the amounts of different pollutants in the exhaust of diesel and petrol engines. FORMATION OF NOX AND CONTROL METHODS: The main source of NOx in diesel engine emissions is the oxidation of the nitrogen in the air at the high temperatures

1. CYLINDER BLOCK- The engine block is the linchpin of vehicles which run on internal combustion‚ providing the powerhouse for the vehicle. EX: A General Motors in-line‚ 6-cylinder block- the entire unit is a one-piece casting of alloy cast iron. Transverse members provide rigidity and strength‚ ensuring alignment of the bores and bearings under all loads. Function- In the bore of cylinder the fresh charge of air-fuel mixture is ignited‚ compressed by piston and expanded to give power to piston

practical when it comes to cost savings on gas; whereas driving a diesel-powered truck shows that you do not care about environment with your smoky‚ loud engine and you can usually be found at a gas station fueling up. However‚ are the stereotypes correct? With advancement in clean diesel technology‚ lower costs in overall maintenance and better fuel efficiency as well as a safer‚ stronger engine‚ there is a clear advantage within diesel engines. First‚ let’s look at cost using a GMC Sierra 2500HD. Buying

promising substitute as an alternative fuel has gained significant attention due to the finite nature of fossil energy sources and does not produce sulfur oxides and minimize the soot particulate in comparison with the existing one from petroleum diesel. The utilization of liquid fuels such as biodiesel produced from vegetable oil by transesterification process represents one of the most promising options for the use of conventional fossil fuels. In the first step of this experimental research
