Diesel engines do not engine brake like gasoline engines do, so relatively speaking, the rate of deceleration would seem to be slower.

What causes slow acceleration in a diesel engine?

Slow acceleration in a diesel engine can be caused by several factors, including fuel delivery issues, such as clogged fuel filters or failing fuel pumps, which restrict the flow of diesel to the injectors. Additionally, problems with the turbocharger or intercooler can lead to insufficient air intake, hampering engine performance. Mechanical issues like worn injectors or poor compression can also contribute to sluggish acceleration. Lastly, excessive weight or drivetrain problems may further impede acceleration in diesel vehicles.


What is the function of turbo charger in diesel engine?

Diesel cars are relatively slow so the turbo give it that much needed kick


What is the losses of diesel engine?

Will a diesel enginre slow a vehicle under compresion?

any engine will do that but in the trucking industry they use what is called a Jacob s engine brake they inject compressed air into the cylinders to slow down the truck


What is decreaing acceleration?

It is deceleration which means to retard or slow down the acceleration.


What causes you to stop when you take your foot off the gas?

When you take your foot off the gas pedal, the car stops accelerating because the engine reduces power to the wheels. This causes the vehicle to slow down due to friction and drag forces acting against it, such as air resistance and rolling resistance from the tires. Additionally, if you are in gear, engine braking can also contribute to the deceleration as the engine's compression slows the vehicle. Overall, the combination of these factors leads to a gradual stop.


The term decelaration means?

Acceleration is to speed up. Deceleration is to slow down.


Term or deceleration means?

Why are slow speed diesel engine referred as cathedral engines?

Because of there size and the fact that the large two strokes are vary tall


What was first Diesel or the diesel machine?

Dr. Rudolph Diesel first worked on the Diesel cycle using powdered coal dust on a slow speed two stroke engine. So the Diesel cycle came first and later developments led to Diesel engines. Sadly, Dr. Diesel committed suicide by jumping from a boat.


What is another word for deceleration?

Technically, it is acceleration either way. If something is slowing down, the acceleration is negative. Slow down or Decrease velocity


What causes and object sliding on a surface to stop?

Friction between the object and the surface causes its sliding motion to slow down and eventually stop. Other factors such as air resistance and any external forces acting on the object can also contribute to its deceleration and eventual halt.
