How do diesel powered engines work?
Diesel engines work by using compression to cause an explosion which releases a surge of power. The engine compresses diesel fuel and oxygen in a cylinder until the fuel heats up and explodes.
Why bikes can not be made using diesel engines?
yes definitely it can be made using diesel engines, but it will be so heavy that it cannot be handled by an individual
Where did the term horse power come from?
Horse power is a measure of the power output of engines using the pulling capacity of a draft horse as its base unit. It was originally used to compare the power of steam engines compared to horses and was later extended to included petrol and diesel engines.
When did ford begin using turbo diesels?
Ford began using turbo diesel engines in 1993. Eleven years earlier, they introduced their first diesel engines for light duty vehicles.
What year exactly did they stop using the steam engines and start using diesel?
There are still ships using steam engines. So, The correct answer is not yet
What kind of engine does a submarine use?
They typically run on steam power, using nuclear reactors to create the steam. Prior to the development of the nuclear power systems, they used electric motors through batteries, that were charged using diesel engines. On the surface the diesel also propelled the shafts.
Can submarine engines work without oxygen?
Only Diesel-Electric submarines or Nuclear Submarines using their diesel engines as the primary power source need to bring in oxygen (via a snorkel mast) to run them. Engines on a nuke don't require oxygen, as they're powered by steam turbines. DE's don't require it either, as they normally run on battery power when submerged.
When did trains switch to using diesel?
The conversion by the railroads from steam to diesel was relatively slow, in part by attrition. By 1952, 50% of the locomotive power in the US had converted over to diesel. The remaining steam engines were phased out for regular train use by about 1968. From the 1970's, steam engines have had limited use for excursion trains, park use, etc.
Why is petrol not used in diesel engines or diesel in petrol engines?
Because the engines will not run with the wrong fuel to to their design. Although both diesel and petrol engines are internal combustion engines, they have differences that enable them to use these different fuels. A petrol engine ignites the fuel/air mixture by using a spark plug. A diesel engine in contrast has no spark but compresses air during the compression cycle. When air is compressed it heats up. Diesel is then injected into the cylinder and it ignites.
Does diesel engine release maximum soot?
Compared to heavy industry, no. Compared to gas, propane, etc, engines, yes. The draw back from using diesel engines is they put out the most "Heavy" particulates then a gas engine. ALL vehicles have soot/heavy particulates. With the newer diesels it has become less of a problem. The upside of running a diesel is you get more power/torque from a diesel then a gasoline engine. More bang for your buck.
What makes the train move?
Trains move by using electric or diesel engines to power the wheels through a system of gears and axles. The engines provide the necessary force to propel the train forward by turning the wheels, which grip the tracks and create movement.
Can you use 500ppm diesel in a common rail engine?
Pre 2007 diesel engines can run on 500 ppm diesel fuel. 2007 and later diesel engines that call for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel should not. These systems use EGR and the extra sulfur in the diesel creates sulfuric acid by nature and will then be reintroduced into the combustion process. Even later diesel engines are using diesel particulate filters that are sensitive to the extra sulfur. Bottom line, if your engine says that it is rated for ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15ppm) use it.
