What is the difference between a SI engine and a CI engine?

An SI engine ignites the fuel with a spark (SI = Spark Ignition) whereas the CI engine ignites the fuel with heat generated from compression (CI = compression ignition)


What is the meaning of 1.6 liter engine?

it means the amount of fuel the cars engine can hold. In simple terms it is the total value of fuel held in each of the cars cylinders.


What is the difference between a fuel and an energy source?

A fuel is one type of energy source. Fuels usually work by buning in air to produce heat, which then does further work in a turbine or other form of heat engine. When a carbon fuel is burned, the mass of oxygen taken from the air exceeds the mass of fule that has to be stored and/or carried, so using fuel is very attractive, and efficient in terms of mass and volume.


How can you convert petrol engine in into diesel engine?

You can convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine by changing the fuel injectors. The fuel filters will also need to be changed.


How does an internal combustion engine rely on metals to conduct heat .?

Some heat from the combustion chamber goes out in the exhaust, but some gets conducted from the cylinder walls into the water jacket (liquid cooling). In an air cooled engine, heat is conducted into the fins and ultimately convected and radiated to the environment. If that did not happen, the engine would quickly overheat. That could cause it to sieze, or the fuel could preignite, basically throwing the ignition timing way, way off and the engine would stop.

What is the calorific value of sand?

Sand? burning in an engine? No. No. NO. Calorific value is the heat produced by burning fuel. Sand won't burn.


How does a dodge cummins engine fire?

The engine compression creates enough heat for the fuel to combust.The engine compression creates enough heat for the fuel to combust.


Heat sources in engine?

Friction, and burning fuel.


How do fuel level sensors affect engine performance?

A fuel level sensor will not affect performance. Fuel level can due to weight of fuel and accumulated heat in the returned fuel from the engine.


Which engine type relies on heat compression to ignite the fuel?

Diesel engines rely on heat and high compression to ignite fuel.


What is form of the energy conversion that take place to combustion engine?

Heat energy is released in a heat engine when fuel is burned. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.


Why engine of a running car is hot?

A car engine works by burning a fuel and air mixture releasing heat into the engine making it hot. The workings of the engine also involves friction which creates additional heat.


What is a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?

The heat engine burns a fuel in order to create heat. This heat is then transferred in mechanical energy which creates motion.


What lights the fuel in a diesel engine?

Diesel fuel is ignited by a combination of heat and compression. The heat is caused by the very high compression in the cylinder. The fuel also has to be very finely atomised to be able to burn.


How do you cure a fuel air lock in a London TXII Taxi?

Re-route fuel lines away from the heat of the engine.


What is the difference between a SI engine and a CI engine?

An SI engine ignites the fuel with a spark (SI = Spark Ignition) whereas the CI engine ignites the fuel with heat generated from compression (CI = compression ignition)


Why ther is a heat surounding of the engine?

Combustion engines make power by burning fuel. Much of that energy is lost to heat.
