How did Rudolf diesel invent the diesel engine?
The correct answer is, he did not invent the then known compression ignition engine, which was named after him,DIESEL engine,he was accredited wrongly with the invention of the C,I,engine,the true inventor was Herbert akroyd Stuart and the date he had a working heavy oil [we now know as diesel] engine was 1886 some four to five years before Rudolf Diesel.
Why diesel engine given name diesel?
This comes after the name of Rudolf Diesel who succeeded to build his well-known high-compression prototype engine in 1897. Rudolf Diesel was credited with this innovation.The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
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
Where does the word diesel come from?
'Diesel' comes the German engineer, Rudoplf Diesel. Diesel invented an internal combustion engine that would auto ignite, when the fuel vapours were compressed to a high degree. This increased the temperature of the vapour to the point were it would auto ignite. The fuel that he used was slightly different from petrol, which needed an electrical spark to ignite. This slightly different fuel is now known as 'Diesel'.
Whats the meaning of CI in Ci engines?

What are the benefits of having a diesel engine?
They get great fuel economy. Diesel vehicles get 20 to 30 percent better gas milleage. A well maintained Diesel Engine is known to last a very long time. They are better for the environment because they burn less fuel.
