How are steam engines diesel engines and electric engines similar and different?
Steam engines and diesel engines are heat engines. An electric motor isn't an engine - it converts and transfers power, but doesn't actually create it.
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.
Which is rated better diesel or petrol engine?
Each engine is rated better for different things. A petrol engine generally has a higher horsepower than a diesel engine, so acceleration and speed is often better on a petrol engine. Diesel engines tend to rate better with torque, so they are better at pulling heavy loads, which is why diesel engines are used in trucks and locomotives.
Do Diesel truck engines get better mpg than gasoline truck engines?
Diesel engines get better fuel economy because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. By design a supercharged engine will produce more power whether it be gasoline or diesel. A diesel engine has more torque at lower rpm than gas engines and therefore uses less fuel. The correct answer is YES.
Which engine is more efficient diesel engine or gasoline engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline engines.
Does smoke come from an engine in a train?
Yes, if the the engine is a steam engine or a diesel engine. The diesel engine smoke should be almost invisible when the engine is in good condition. Electric locomotives are not typically called "engines", but these do not produce smoke.
What is an explanation for how a modern diesel or electric locomotive develops power?
Modern diesel electric motors are actually hybrids engines. The electric motor is used whenever possible to conserve fuel, and the diesel engine provided power for hill climbs and acceleration,
How are cars powered?
Basically, by an engine fueled with gas or diesel. But nowadays electric engines are beginning to be produced for the public.
Which invention changed transportaion?
The steam engine made possible for the invention of the steam locomotive and the steam ship. The gas and diesel engines made possible cars, trucks, diesel-electric locomotive engines, diesel-electric submarines, airplanes made flight possible, and the list could go on and on....
What do you call the engine found in cars?
a normally aspirated, spark ignition, gasoline engine in most cars on the road today. some also have rotary engines, diesel engines and electric motors.
Why a dieel engine is more efficient than a gasolene engine?
Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline because chambers are different. A diesel engine has better gas mileage.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
