Which combustion chambers use glow plug in diesel engines?
all of them.
Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?
They are both internal combustion engines
Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?
No, they are both internal combustion engines.
Gas and diesel engines are what type of engines?
Internal combustion.
Why do cars need petrol or diesel?
Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.
Are diesel engines classified as internal combustion?
Yes they are
Whats the difference between engines running on diesel and gasoline?
Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and diesel engines use high cylinder compression to ignite the fuel air mixture. Other than that they are similar. <><><> Diesel engines ignite the fuel by using high compression: as the engine compresses the air inside the combustion chamber, it reaches around 1000 degrees, at which point diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, and it ignites. Gasoline engines use the sparks from spark plugs to ignite the gasoline/air mixture in the engines' combustion chambers after it has been compressed. Because separate sparks are used the amount of compression required in a gasoline engine is a lot less than would be necessary in a diesel engine. The main reason diesel engines are heavier and more expensive to make than gasoline engines is because, to be able to withstand the much higher compression, diesel engines have to be made much stronger by having thicker cylinder walls, compression chambers, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc.
Is diesel engine a continuous combustion engine or intermittent combustion engine?
Type of combustion is determined by the engine, not the fuel. Intermittent or reciprocating engines such as those found in cars and trucks can run on diesel. Gas turbines AKA jet engines can also run on diesel however they are continuous combustion engines. The answer to your question depends on the type of engine you have in mind. If it has pistons then it will be intermittent.
When were internal combustion engines invented?
In 1897 Rudolph Diesel invented his engine.
Why do you use Diesel Engines to pull heavier loads petrol engines for higher speeds?
Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion Becouse a diesel engine has no spark plugs to foul under a heavy load, and a heavy load can work in the diesel engines' favor because it uses compression not combustion
What are gasoline engines and diesel engines?
The Diesel cycle engine was named after the German engineer who invented it, Rudolf Diesel. A Diesel engine uses two principles: air gets hot when you compress it, and fuel will ignite if it gets hot enough. The engine compresses air introduced into the cylinder to a very high pressure. When fuel is injected it immediately ignites.
What type of cars use internal combustion engines?
Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.
