The combustion process in a diesel engine comes in four steps 1.Suction 2.Comression 3.Power 4.Exhaust these are called as strokes when the piston travells from top end to bottom end Respectively.
1.Suction : In this stroke the fresh air through the aircleaner from the atmosphere which is sucked by the piston (when the valve opens)when the piston travells from TDC to BDC (TOP to BOTTOM) get trapped inside the cylinder(Combustion chamber) and valve closed.
2.Compression : In this stroke the air which is trapped inside the cylinder (when the both valve are closed)getting hot due to compression by the piston when it travells from bottom to top it gets hotter.
3.Power : In this stroke the hot air now comes in contact with fuel when the injectors sprayes the fuel in a fine automized form and the fuel gets burnt by a higher temperature upto 600 degree C.
4.Exhaust : In this stroke the exhaust valve opens when the piston travels from TDC to BDC and pushes the burnt gases out through the exhaust valve exhaust manifold scilencer and then to the atmosphere.

Difference between diesel engine and old steam engine?
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
What is diesel combustion pressure?
The diesel combustion pressure depends on various factors. The model and the type of diesel engine is important.
What is the auto combustion pressure for diesel?
The auto combustion pressure for a diesel engine is 580 psi. This is compared to the 200 psi of the gas powered engine.
The main difference between the internal combustion engine and the diesel engine is?
The diesel engine doesn't have any spark plugs, and uses heat generated during compression to ignite the fuel. The diesel however, is an internal combustion engine.
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.
What makes a Diesel engine fire?
Combustion of instantly compressed diesel vapour or gas
Who originated the diesel engine?
In 1898, Rudolf Diesel was granted patent #608,845 for an "internal combustion engine" the Diesel engine. Born in France, grew up in Germany.
Process where engine fuels burn?
That process is called 'internal combustion'
What is the combustion chamber temperature in diesel engine?
180o C
How many general types of combustion chambers are used in diesel engines?
Diesel Engine combustion chamber types : Swirl port combustion chamber type and Preignition port combustion chamber type.
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.
Where are the glow plugs on a 6.6 duramax diesel engine?
Combustion chamber
