S.I Engine lower compression Ratio is 6 to 11
The heat from compression is so high that the fuel will auto-ignite when injected.
It depends on equal compression between all cylinders.
The compression ratio of a Diesel ranges from 14:1 to as high as 25:1. I agree just depends on engine.
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
the diesel engine. it takes one ignition to start, then it runs off of (autoignition) ignition from heat caused by high compression. compression ignition (autoignition) causes ignition to happen a little earlier than spark ignition engines (gas engines) which is less vulnerable to risk of engine knocking or wasted power when dealing with high compression. -maddmatt
Diesel engines rely on heat and high compression to ignite fuel.
Higher octane is helpful for high compression engines. High compression causes the combustion to take place faster and can cause pinging and a loss of power. By using high octane with high compression you get the advantage of the extra efficiency of the high compression engine and the delivery of the combustion across the power stroke of the piston, with out pinging.
Because a diesel engine doesn't need spark to ignite the fuel. Diesels are very high compression engines, and the high compression makes enough heat to ignite the fuel. To prevent the fuel from igniting prematurely, it is injected only after the valves have closed and the piston is near the top of the compression stroke. Once the fuel is injected, the heat from the compression ignites it instantly.
If the compression is high enough you get a diesel engine.
The more boost you use the lower compression you want. Higher compression with boost leads to detonation which leads to excess engine wear and damage.
