Diesel engines are classified primarily based on their design and application, including two main categories: two-stroke and four-stroke engines. They can also be categorized by their use, such as light-duty (for vehicles), medium-duty (for trucks), and heavy-duty (for industrial applications). Additionally, diesel engines can be classified by their fuel injection methods, such as direct injection or indirect injection. Other classifications include turbocharged versus naturally aspirated engines, as well as air-cooled versus liquid-cooled systems.
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.
The Diesel cycle engine was named after the German engineer who invented it, Rudolf Diesel. A Diesel engine uses two principles: air gets hot when you compress it, and fuel will ignite if it gets hot enough. The engine compresses air introduced into the cylinder to a very high pressure. When fuel is injected it immediately ignites.
Engines can be classified based on various criteria, including the type of fuel used, the method of operation, and the engine cycle. Common engine types include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline and diesel engines), external combustion engines (e.g., steam engines), and electric engines. Additionally, they can be categorized by their cycle, such as two-stroke and four-stroke engines, or by design, like rotary or reciprocating engines. Each classification serves specific applications, from automotive to industrial and aerospace uses.
Petrol engines are widely considered to be the most efficient of engines, because they are more refined than diesel. Since diesel is not completely refined, it cannot completely combust and so does not (in theory) produce as much energy per litre of fuel as a petrol engine. However, some diesel engines can be made to be much more efficient than petrol engines because they have a different type of fuel, and burn it in a different way.

Diesel engines on boats are a waste of money.
Diesel fuel is classified as a petroleum product, specifically a middle distillate. It falls under the category of fuel oils and is primarily used in compression-ignition engines. In the context of hazardous materials, diesel fuel is often classified as a flammable liquid. Its specific classification can vary based on regulations in different countries.

Are diesel engines better than gas engines is sort of a yes and no question. Diesel engines generally get better fuel mileage and last longer overall. But, gas engines are easier to maintain on your own and gasoline is much more readily available than diesel fuel is on the whole.
