Why compression ratio of petrol enine is 8 where as diesel engine is 22?
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
What is the air fuel ratio in petrol engine?
Ideally it is 14.7 air to 1 fuel in an internal combustion engine.
What would be the air to fuel ratio of typical petrol engine at cruising speed?
14.7:1
What will happen if petrol is used as a fuel in diesel engine?
Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
Can we use fuel injector in petrol engine?
Yes, you can use a fuel injector in a petrol engine.
What is the compression ratio on a 1.4 corsa petrol engine?
For the Opal Corsa generation Corsa B, 1.4 i petrol engine, the compression ratio is 9.4. It has 60 horsepower and a 46 liter fuel tank. For the 1.4 XER, the compression ratio is 10.5. For the 1.4 i 16V ECOTEC, the compression is 10.5.
What happen when petrol fuel is use in diesel engine?
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
What is difference between petrol engine and diesel engine in term of air fuel ratio?
Petrol ideal air/fuel mixture is 14.7 to 1. Diesel, ideal fuel/air mixture is 14.6 to 1. As very few engines run at the ideal mixture they are basically both the same.
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.
Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
Is it possible to use diesel in petrol engine?
No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
Why diesel engine is more better than petrol engine?
because diesel engine has the maximum efficiency than petrol engine. also diesel engine can handle more load than petrol,as we can see in case in case of heavy vehicles. --- Fuel Savings result because the Air to Fuel ratio is MUCH more "lean" (more air) in a Diesel than in a gasoline/petrol engine. At idle, the optimal mixture for gasoline is 14.7 parts of AIR to one part FUEL. Compare that to a Diesel engine, where the ratio is 50:1, and you'll note a significant savings. --- Other Advantages: Diesel designed his engine to run on virtually any available fuel (e.g.; vegetable oil) for times of short supply of petrol/gasoline. The diesel engine has higher TORQUE, meaning that it can haul larger loads than a gas/petrol engine. There is no Ignition Circuit to fail on a diesel engine. The ignition is achieved by compression and a "glow plug" which remains heated between piston cycles. ---
