Who was the German engineer who invented the compression ignition engine in 1893?

Rudolf diesel


Where did Rudolf Diesel invent the Diesel Engine?

Augsburg, Germany The engine was known as a compression ignition engine also known as a heavy oil engine,this was actually designed by Herbert akroyd Stuart not Rudolf Diesel although this type of engine was named after Rudolf Diesel.


What is the process of starting an engine known as?

Ignition.


Why diesel engine given name diesel?

This comes after the name of Rudolf Diesel who succeeded to build his well-known high-compression prototype engine in 1897. Rudolf Diesel was credited with this innovation.The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.


How did Rudolf diesel invent the diesel engine?

The correct answer is, he did not invent the then known compression ignition engine, which was named after him,DIESEL engine,he was accredited wrongly with the invention of the C,I,engine,the true inventor was Herbert akroyd Stuart and the date he had a working heavy oil [we now know as diesel] engine was 1886 some four to five years before Rudolf Diesel.


What is the combustion process of gas engine?

intake, compression, ignition, exhaust


When did Rudolf diesel the diesel engine?

Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine in the late 19th century, with his first working prototype completed in 1897. He designed the engine to be more efficient than the steam engines of the time, using compression ignition to ignite fuel. Diesel patented his engine in 1892, and it was later showcased at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris.


Why did Rudolph diesel invent the diesel engine?

He didn't. Herbert Ackroyd-Stuart in fact created and patented the first functioning compression ignition engine some 7 years before Rudolf Diesel.


What year did Rudolf Diesel invent the diesel engine?

In 1892 the German engineer Rudolf Diesel got a patent for his invention of the technology for a compression ignition engine.From that time onwards it was called a "Diesel Engine".Another opinionActually the date was 1891 that Diesel invented his engine, which became the "diesel" engine as we know it.However an earlier heavy fuel oil engine, called the "hot bulb" or "heavy oil" engine, was invented by Herbert Akroyd Stuart. It was working in 1886, much earlier than the Diesel's engine, but, unlike the "diesel", it had a low compression-ratio so that the fuel could not self-ignite, so it and was not actually a "compression ignition" engine.Wrongly Rudolf Diesel was accredited with being the designer of the heavy oil fuel engine which was named after him although documented history will show that Stuart, was the true inventor of the heavy oil fuel engine.CommentThis question is asking specifically about the inventor of the diesel engine, which is a compression-ignition engine. It is not asking about heavy fuel engines in general.For more information about Rudolf Diesel and Herbert Akroyd Stuart go to the Related Links shown below.

What is spark ignition engine?

A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
