What replaced the steam engine?
diesel and gasoline engines
What is intake stroke in a diesel engine?
In a gasoline engine, it is a fuel-air mixture that is drawn in during the intake stroke, unless the engine is fuel injected. In a fuel injected or a diesel engine, it is air, because the fuel (gasoline or diesel) is injected at the "last moment" before ignition.
Where was the gasoline tractor was invented?
Charter Gasoline Engine Company of Sterling, Illinois, for first successfully using gasoline as fuel. Charter's creation of a gasoline fueled engine in 1887 soon led to early gasoline traction engines before the term "tractor" was coined by others. Charter adapted its engine to a Rumley steam-traction-engine chassis, and in 1889 produced six of the machines to become one of the first working gasoline traction engines.
Why do diesel engines have more torque than horsepower?
The issue is that diesel engines, while they produce a whole lot of torque, cannot rev nearly as high as comparable gasoline engines. And since:horsepower = (torque*engine speed) / 5252If your engine won't rev past 3000 rpm, you'll always have less peak horsepower than torque. As for why they can't rev higher, they're limited by either the burn rate of the fuel per ignition stroke, the mechanical limitations due to the longer piston rods/crank lobes, or both.
How can I replace the engine of my generator brigg?
There is a company called Brand New Engines that can provide you with a new engine. I expect they will be able to provide some how to replace your broken engine with a new one instructions if asked.
Which engine is more efficient diesel engine or gasoline engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Can regular engines run on diesel fuel?
Gasoline engines cannot run on diesel. Only a diesel engine can run diesel. And a diesel engine cannot run on gasoline.
What replaced the steam engine?
diesel and gasoline engines
Who created the motor?
Both Diesel and Gasoline Engines are basically German inventions. The Diesel Engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel The Gasoline engine by Nikolaus August Otto :-)
Who is better gasoline engine or diesel engine?
diesel. Diesel engines tend to have better efficiency especially at less than full load. Gasoline/Petrol and LPG engines tend to have better power weight ratios.
Can we convert public buses from diesel engines to LPG engines?
No, a diesel engine will not burn LPG. It would destroy a diesel engine. A gasoline engine can, with some modifications, burn LPG.
How does a diesel engine differ from a gasoline engine?
A diesel engine fires from compression and not from a spark. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines normally have less horsepower than a gasoline engine but have much more torc, or pulling power.
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.
Do fuel injected engines have spark plugs?
If it is a gas engine, yes. Diesel , no. Yes if it is gasoline engine,no if is a diesel.
What is the difference in how a normal car engine and a diesel car engine in how they work?
diesel engines compress the fuel mixture much more than gasoline engines, diesel engines are always fuel injected while gasoline engines have the option of being carbureted, diesel engines usually cost more, diesels produce more power than a comparable gasoline engine, diesel engines have no distributor or spark system, and instead use glow plugs to ignite fuel, and diesel engines can be converted to run on vegetable oil with few modifications.
Are diesel engines more reliable than gasoline engines?
Yes, diesel engine will last much longer than gasoline engines. They are built much stronger but are also more expensive to build.
