Trains primarily use diesel or electric engines instead of petrol engines due to their efficiency and power requirements. Diesel engines provide greater torque and are more suitable for the heavy loads and long distances typical of train operations. Additionally, electric engines are more efficient for high-speed travel and can utilize overhead power lines or third rails, making them a more sustainable option. Petrol engines, on the other hand, are less efficient for such applications and are not designed for the scale of energy needed to operate trains effectively.
What else can I help you with?
Why we dont use turbocharger in petrol engine?
Your question assumes something that is not true. Many auto manufactures do use turbo chargers on petrol engines.
What is the use of petrol in a vehicle?
petrol ( or gas to the Americans) powers the combustion engines of vehicles.
Why the turbocharger is not use for petrol engine?
Turbochargers are used on some petrol or gasoline engines.
What vehicles use petrol?
Petrol is gasoline and most internal combustion engines, thus most vehicles, use it.
Why do you use Unleaded Petrol?
It harmed the vehicles engines and the environment.
What is the difference between petrol and diesel engines?
diesel engines doesn't use spark plug but uses heater plug.petrol engines produces more torque than petrol engines but petrol engines produces more acceleration than diesel engines.petrol engine is faster to be heated than diesel engine.
Can you use the same oil in petrol and diesel engines?
If you mean motor oil, yes.
Can you use a diesel battery in place of a petrol battery?
Batteries are basically the same for petrol or deisel engines, but diesel engines require more cranking force and demand a bigger battery. So a battery from a diesel engine is ok for petrol, providing it fits.
What kind of engine did old trains use?
In some of the earliest trains cars were moved by horses or mules and in some cases men. Later trains were powered by steam engines.
Why is petrol not used in diesel engines or diesel in petrol engines?
Because the engines will not run with the wrong fuel to to their design. Although both diesel and petrol engines are internal combustion engines, they have differences that enable them to use these different fuels. A petrol engine ignites the fuel/air mixture by using a spark plug. A diesel engine in contrast has no spark but compresses air during the compression cycle. When air is compressed it heats up. Diesel is then injected into the cylinder and it ignites.
Can a helicopter use petrel?
Yes, may small helicopters have piston engines that use petrol (gasoline in USA )
Do locomotive trains use gas?
Locomotives use diesel engines thus run on diesel fuel, they do not use gasoline.
