Diesel burns with a smokier flame than petrol primarily because it has a higher carbon content and contains larger hydrocarbon molecules. During combustion, the incomplete combustion of these larger molecules results in the production of soot and particulate matter, which contributes to the smokiness. Additionally, diesel engines operate at higher compression ratios, which can lead to a less efficient burn compared to petrol engines, further increasing smoke production.
What else can I help you with?
Can a petrol engine be converted to a diesel engine?
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.
Why do petrol cars steam more then diesel cars?
because petrol is easer to burn than diesel
Can you make a diesel engine which works on the basic principle of petrol engine or you can say it uses diesel as a fuel but works on the principle of petrol engine?
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
Why does hexadecane burn with a smokier flame than octane?
Hexadecane contains more carbon atoms than octane, leading to a higher carbon-to-hydrogen ratio. This higher carbon content results in more soot and a smokier flame when hexadecane burns compared to octane, which has fewer carbon atoms and burns more cleanly.
How do you make hho burn without fuel like petrol or diesel?

Who catches fire more quickly diesel or petrol?
At normal outdoor ambient temperatures, and trying to light the fuels in their simple liquid states, petrol will ignite VERY easily, Diesel will not. If you soak a rag with the fuels - again the petrol will ignite and burn very easily with a 'whoosh'. The diesel soaked rag will ignite but it may take a few seconds to get going and flame will spread relatively gently across the rag. Inside the engines it is a different story, the diesel is ignited by compression and this actually causes it to explode rather than burn. In both cases it is the vapour given off that burns, not the liquid.
Is there some slogans on not using petrol and diesel?
the less u burn the more u earn
Does petrol burn faster than diesel?
i dont think anyone knows the answer to that apart from teachers
What cause fuel to burn faster?
becoz of the inflammatry contents in fuel both in diesel and petrol..
Why cant you use diesel in a petrol car?
Diesel fuel is designed for diesel engines, which have a different combustion process than petrol engines. Using diesel fuel in a petrol car can damage the engine components, as diesel fuel may not burn efficiently in a petrol engine, leading to poor performance and potential engine damage. Additionally, modern petrol cars are equipped with fuel systems designed specifically for petrol fuel, not diesel.
Why otto cycle used for petrol engine and diesel cycle for diesel engine?
A standard 20 to 1 otto cycle is used for the petrol and diesel cycles for diesel engines. It is higher than gasoline engines due to the way diesels burn and compress fuel.
Can you put petrol in with diesel?
Most internal combustion engines are designed to burn petrol (gasoline) or diesel fuel, but not both. Unless the engine manufacturer tells you otherwise, you should not mix the two types of fuel.
