Can we convert public buses from diesel engines to LPG engines?
No, a diesel engine will not burn LPG. It would destroy a diesel engine. A gasoline engine can, with some modifications, burn LPG.
How many liters of air goes into a diesel engine for 1 liter of fuel?
Nine cubic meters of air is required to burn 1 liter of fuel in a diesel engine. A person does not put liters of air into a diesel engine. Liters of fuel are put into a diesel engine.
How much calorie in one liter of diesel?
if one ltr diesel burn how many calory heat genrat
Why otto cycle used for petrol engine and diesel cycle for diesel engine?
A standard 20 to 1 otto cycle is used for the petrol and diesel cycles for diesel engines. It is higher than gasoline engines due to the way diesels burn and compress fuel.
Is diesel engine better?
It has advantages and disadvantages. Both are heat engines, and the diesel engine both puts out more BTUs and has a higher thermal efficiency rating - diesels are approaching the 50 percent margin, whereas gasoline/petrol engines are still in limbo in the low 20 percentile. Diesel engines are higher maintenance, though, and now, with Euro 5, EPA 2010, and other emissions regulations, they're required to run Diesel Exhaust Fluid in addition to the fuel they burn, which can add up in expense.
What is the advantage of Diesel engines?
One of the main advantage of using a Diesel engine as opposed to a regular is that a Diesel engine tends to burn less fuel. They also have very high thermal efficiency.
Do Diesel truck engines get better mpg than gasoline truck engines?
Diesel engines get better fuel economy because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. By design a supercharged engine will produce more power whether it be gasoline or diesel. A diesel engine has more torque at lower rpm than gas engines and therefore uses less fuel. The correct answer is YES.
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.
Why don't buses use gasoline?
Buses, like many large vehicles, burn diesel fuel. Deisel-burning engines are better suited for large vehicles than gasoline-burning engines.
Why diesel engines called constant volume engines?
They aren't.Gasoline engines are (sort-of) constant volume engines while Diesel engines are (sort of) constant pressure engines.In a gas engine, the combustion process is so fast compared to the travel rate of the piston that it all happens in the same volume, before the piston has had much time to move away.In a Diesel engine combustion is so much slower that the piston will actually have time to move away while fuel is still being burnt.As the volume of the combustion chamber increases during burn as the piston moves away, the pressure will remain pretty much the same throughout the burn.
Can you put petrol in with diesel?
Most internal combustion engines are designed to burn petrol (gasoline) or diesel fuel, but not both. Unless the engine manufacturer tells you otherwise, you should not mix the two types of fuel.
Why petrol engines are faster than diesel engines?
Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.
