There is no required a/f ratio on a diesel. It can be as low as 100:1 at no load idle.
In diesel engine fuel to power ratio is 1:50
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
Cutoff ratio is not the ratio of the volume of the cylinder at the end of combustion to the start of the combustion process in a diesel engine. actually cutoff ratio means point at which fuel injected for a period and fuel delivery is stopped at required instant -is called cutoff ratio.............
The diesel engine can operate at 12:1 to 24:1 at idle.
Nine cubic meters of air is required to burn 1 liter of fuel in a diesel engine. A person does not put liters of air into a diesel engine. Liters of fuel are put into a diesel engine.
make the fuel sufficient burning
a diesel engine has generally compression ratio of 12-14 which means around 1000cent.temp is developed inside the engine cylinder.if natural gas is intaken then it will burn before the completion of compression stroke.no diesel fuel is required now
Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
Ensures that all the fuel mixes with the air creating a proper air to fuel ratio to produce combustion.
At idle it can be 50 : 1 or even 100:1.
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
It can be blended with regular diesel fuel in any ratio. It has about the same amount of energy as petroleum diesel fuel. Its use reduces the amount of required oil changes. the only down fall is its not available at most major truck stops.
