Yes
Germany by a German scientist by the name of Rudolf diesel in 1897
The word "diesel" in French is still "diesel." It is the name of the man who invented the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel, a Parisian-born German.
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine
The name comes from the inventor Rudolf Diesel, who was German.
Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel
Diesel engines were named after Rudolf Diesel (1858 - 1913) who was a German mechanical engineer. He invented the diesel engine to replace slower steam engines. Anshika Bangalore
'Diesel' comes the German engineer, Rudoplf Diesel. Diesel invented an internal combustion engine that would auto ignite, when the fuel vapours were compressed to a high degree. This increased the temperature of the vapour to the point were it would auto ignite. The fuel that he used was slightly different from petrol, which needed an electrical spark to ignite. This slightly different fuel is now known as 'Diesel'.
Rudolf Diesel. Yes he invented the engine. The fuel came later and was named after him but he didnt invent diesel fuel. His wife insisted he name the engine after himself, he didnt want to.
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
The word "diesel" comes from the name of the German inventor Rudolf Diesel. He designed the diesel engine in the late 19th century as an efficient alternative to steam engines. The term became widely used to refer to vehicles and engines powered by this technology.
This comes after the name of Rudolf Diesel who succeeded to build his well-known high-compression prototype engine in 1897. Rudolf Diesel was credited with this innovation.The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
I don't think so. Vin Diesel is not his real name. His real last name is Vincent.
