1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).
However, a real diesel engine will be more efficient overall since it will have the ability to operate at higher compression ratios. If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking (self-ignition) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired ...
Napier Deltic—a high-speed, lightweight diesel engine used in fast naval craft and some railway locomotives. SVO—Straight Vegetable Oil—alternative fuel for diesel engines. Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C—world's most powerful, most efficient and largest diesel engine. WVO—Waste Vegetable Oil—filtered, alternative fuel for diesel engines.
The Ford 4.4 TD is a diesel V8 engine developed and built by Ford Motor Company.It has a power output of 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque. As with the other AJDs, it has a compacted graphite iron block that reduces weight while increasing engine block strengt

At this point the crankshaft has completed a full 360 degree revolution. While the piston is at T.D.C. (the end of the compression stroke) the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines), forcefully returning the piston to B.D.C. This stroke produces ...
The 1N is a 1.5 L (1,453 cc) Inline 4 diesel engine.Bore is 74 mm and stroke is 84.5 mm, with a compression ratio of 22:1. Peak Output is 55 PS (40 kW; 54 hp) at 5200 rpm, and 9.1 kg⋅m (89 N⋅m; 66 lb⋅ft) to 9.3 kg⋅m (91 N⋅m; 67 lb⋅ft) of torque depending on application.
The engine is a 2.0 litres (1,950 cc) turbo-diesel cast aluminum block, inline four-cylinder with balancing shafts. [3] It has a single turbo and its cylinder walls are lined with slippery Nanoslide, an iron-carbon coating that cuts friction.
