The thermodynamic cycle which powers a diesel engine has four steps: 1. Adiabatic compression (compression with no heat transfer into or out of the reaction cylinder). 2. Heating at constant pressure. In a diesel engine, the heat generated by the compression step is so great that fuel spontaneously combusts as it's injected into the cylinder; however, this combustion is not instantaneous, so the gases inside the cylinder heat up and expand at constant pressure as the fuel burns. 3. Adiabatic expansion (this is the part where the cylinder is doing work on whatever the engine is hooked up to). 4. Cooling at constant pressure (the exhaust is expelled from the cylinder). The compression ratio is the ratio between the initial volume and the volume at the end of Step 1. The cutoff ratio is the ratio of the volume at the end of Step 1 (BEFORE the fuel is injected and burned) to the volume at the end of Step 2 (AFTER the fuel is injected and burned). The expansion ratio is the ratio of the volume at the end of Step 2 to to volume at the end of Step 3. In case this clarifies, (compression ratio) = (cutoff ratio) * (expansion ratio).
We use cut-off ratio in diesel cycle and not in Otto cycle because it is cost effective.
Gasoline engine - spark is cut off when ignition is turned off Diesel engine- fuel is cut off when engine is shut down
The fuel is cut off to the engine. With no fuel it stops running immediately.
fuel cut off valve not working, to shut a diesel off all you have to do is cut off the fuel,
The fuel is shut off to shut the engine off.
a percentage or amount of something AE: the fuel. there is a cut off ration on your fuel system so that your engine does not flood out and stop running.. or burn up.. its main purpose is to improve gas mileage and air fuel ratio. increasing performance
location of fuel cut off switch
If you put gasoline in your diesel engine, first be sure to keep the engine turned off. If you have already started the engine, turn it off. Then, drain the fuel tank, remove and replace the fuel filter, and fill the tank with diesel. This should fix the problem.
Yes.
Ford Mondeo 1998cc TDCi 2002 Model. Diesel cut off switch is on passenger left hand side foot well.
There isn't a converter on a diesel engine.
Usually caused by a timing problem.
