What is the difference between a reciprocating internal combustion engine and compression ignition combustion engine?
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
Full form of SI engine?
SI stands for Spark Ignition. eg. Petrol Engine.
What is TCI engine?
direct ignition engine
What is the ignition point of petrol?
It has a flash point of about -50° F (-65° C)(lowest temp ignitable). The ignition temperature is about 495° or autoignition which it can go off without external spark source.
Why can't petrol be compressed and ignited as in the case of diesel engines?
petrol self ignition temperature is high and requires a spark plug instead to ignite.where as diesel ignites automatically under pressure because of low self ignition temperature without any spark plug....hence petrol cannot be used inplace of dieselWarning: The above answer is absolutely incorrect. Petrol's flash point is significantly below, not above, diesel. The heat needed for ignition in a diesel engine comes from a compression ratio of over 20:1. Petrol engines have compression ratios of less than 10:1. Even at this lower compression ratio, petrol will still sometimes flash over or "detonate," causing the engine to "knock." This kind of nonsense is why I stopped posting here.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of spark ignition engine and combustion ignition engine?
what are the advantages and disadvantages of s.i engine
What is spark ignition engine?
A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
How many types of spark ignition engine?
There are basically two types of spark ignition engine. They are the diesel spark engines and the petrol spark engines.
Main advantages and disadvantages between compression ignition and spark ignition engines?
A spark ignition engine is a gasoline engine. A compression ignition is a diesel engine.basic difference between compression and spark ignition engine is ,compression ignition is a diesel engine. spark ignition is a gasoline engine.diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where the fuel explodes, thus giving ignitiongasoline does not compress to explosion, therefore it needs need a spark to ignite the fuelspark ign. is gasoline. comp. ign. is diesel.A compression ignition engine is typically a diesel. It compresses air so much that the heat from the compression is enough to cause the fuel to ignited once injected. A spark ignition engine is your average gasoline-burning car engine. It uses a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead of relying on compretssion ignition.A compression ignition engine uses very high compression of the air to heat it self up and the fuel is injected into the cylinder which self ignites (a diesel engine is a compression ignition engine).A spark ignition engine uses a lower compression ratio and requires the use of a spark to ignite the fuel (a petrol engine is a spark ignition engine).Because the oils used for a diesel have a higher calorific value, they have a better fuel economy, They also do not need extra energy usage to keep the engine running, unlike the energy that is lost to power the spark plugs from the generator/alternator which is taken from the useful energy produced by the engine.
What is similar to a gasoline engine except it has no spark plugs?
A diesel engine has the same internal components and works off of compression ignition, not spark ignition.
What is spark ignition or Diesel?
spark ignition engine is also known as petrol engine. but in diesel engines the fuel is burnt due to the high compression of air.so there is no need of spark plug
What are symptoms of a bad ignition coil?
A bad ignition coil will cause your engine not to have any spark. Without any spark the engine cannot start or run.
What is the difference between a SI engine and a CI engine?
An SI engine ignites the fuel with a spark (SI = Spark Ignition) whereas the CI engine ignites the fuel with heat generated from compression (CI = compression ignition)
What is the difference between a reciprocating internal combustion engine and compression ignition combustion engine?
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
What type of engine uses compression ignition as it has no spark plugs?
a diesel engine uses compression and has no need of spark plugs
Is there supposed to be a spark at the plugs when you turn the ignition on but not turning the engine over?
No. It should only spark with the engine turning over.
How the spark ignition engine works?
As gas flows into the ignition box, a spark is made, igniting the gasoline and the explosion starts driving the pistons.
