Best Answer

An increase in temperature will reduce the density, reduce the viscosity, reduce thermal conductivity, and increase the specific heat capacity.

A decrease in temperature will have the opposite affect.

Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?

The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.

What are the defferences between dessel and petrol engine?

Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.
