Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
Why a turbocharger is not used in a petrol engine?
They certainly are. Using them together with carburetted engines can be a bit tricky, and usually the compression has to be lowered when compared to a naturally aspirated engine.
Why was the diesel engine invented?
Rudolf Diesel invented the 'Diesel' engine and they were originally used as more efficient replacements for stationary steam engines. The diesel engine allowed trains and ships to operate more efficiently with oil instead of coal. In 1892 a German engineer Rudolf Diesel patented the engine that bears his name, an internal combustion engine that doesn't require a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture. In 1913 he vanished overboard from a steamer bound for London; his body washed up ten days later. Some believe he committed suicide and cite his neurotic personality and numerous breakdowns, and some believe he was murdered by either Germans (who resented his lack of nationalism) or by coal industrialists (who resented his engine). The first successful commercial diesel engine was built in the United States, thanks to the financial backing of Adolphus Busch, famous brewer of Budweiser.
What is the steam engine's application today?
Most steam engines except those used on tourist railroads have been replaced with the more efficient steam turbine engines.
Who designed a steam engine that was 40 percent more efficient and significantly cheaper than standard steam engines?
Benjamin Franklin Isherwood
Why diesel engine trains more used compare to steam engine trains?
Efficiency and cost. The maintenance of a steam engine can be very costly as compared to a diesel engine as well.

How do you build a diesel hovercar?
well you need a powerful diesel engine to make the air to hover. and the rest YOU need to come up with. a V8 turbo diesel or a V10 turbo diesel should be more than enough.
Did james watt invent the steam train?
Nope, James Watt inproved the steam engine by comming up with a seperate condenser to avoid the massive waste of energy making it way more efficient, more cost- effective and more powerful. His engine was used in some of the first steam trains though.
What is more efficient the gasoline engine or diesel engine?
The diesel is more efficient but more expensive to build.
Which is more efficient otto engine or diesel engine?
diesel cycle
What is the difference between ordinary diesel engine and crdi engine?
in crdi engine using a pump is provide more pressure and powerful than ordinary pump. . it silent in operation and no priming.
Why does it take such a long time to jump start a diesel?
Diesel engines have such a high engine compression ratio, they require a more powerful starter, which in turn requires more battery power. That is why diesels have two batteries.
Which engine is more efficient diesel engine or gasoline engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines.
Why do petrol cars steam more then diesel cars?
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
Is a fuel filter more critical n a diesel engine or gasoline?
Diesel contains more impurities compared to gasolene.Therefore fuel filter is more critical in a diesel engine
Which is more powerful petrol or diesel engine?
Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.
