Internal combustion.


What is the combustion chamber temperature in diesel engine?

What is mean by plunger diameter in diesel engine?

Plunger is used in diesel engine fuel injection system which meters the fuel into combustion chamber. Higher the plunger diameter, higher the fuel injected into the cylinder. The plunger diameter of a typical diesel engine could be 9-10mm. Cam disk is connected to the plunger and each revolution, plunger will diesel 4 times into the combustion chamber.


What is the cause of high combustion temp in cylinder head?

low fuel pressure


What is the reason for Knock in the diesel engine?

Diesel knock is generated due to fully advanced timing and retard conditions. If the timing is retard the fuel will not be burned purely and rapid pressure will be developed and pinking noise will be generated. In a advance condition the fuel is injected in to the combusion chamber before reaching the piston tdc the burning will start suddenly otherhand the piston is being compresses the charge. The combusion should be done at maximum pressure and temperature but in this case the fuel does not burnt at that stage (actually piston wants the load at that time)the pressure is not developing instanteniously rapid pressure developed thats why the diesel knock generates. Another reason for diesel knock if diesel does not have the good cetane number knocking will be generatedTHIS ANSWER HAS SUBMITTED BY LOHITHKUMAR S FROM TATA MOT0RS MANGALORE

What is diesel combustion pressure?

The diesel combustion pressure depends on various factors. The model and the type of diesel engine is important.


What causes diesel fuel to ignite?

Diesel fuel ignites due to a combination of high pressure and temperature in a diesel engine's combustion chamber. When the piston compresses the air, it raises the temperature to a point where the injected diesel fuel vapor ignites spontaneously without the need for a spark plug. This auto-ignition occurs because diesel fuel has a higher cetane number, allowing it to ignite more easily under the right conditions. Additionally, the heat generated from the compression process is critical for initiating combustion.

Diesel calorific value?

The calorific value of fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion at a constant pressure and under normal conditions. For diesel, the calorific value is 44,800.


Why cant you use carburetor in diesel engine?

Stoich for combustion of deisal is different and pressure required as well. Carbs only work with combustion point and air requirements of gas.


What does HDIS mean?

HDI is High pressure Direct Injection engine that is found in diesel cars. Fuel is injected into the combustion changer under high pressure.


Gasoline in diesel engine?

Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure


How are internal and external combustion different?

In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.


How does a diesel car engine work?

Rather than introducing a spark to promote combustion, the diesel fuel is continually compressed in four cycles until it reaches a point where the pressure causes it to combust.


How many general types of combustion chambers are used in diesel engines?

Diesel Engine combustion chamber types : Swirl port combustion chamber type and Preignition port combustion chamber type.


Why do cars need petrol or diesel?

Petrol and diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The internal combustion that turns the engine and powers the wheels is created by the combustion of fuel. No fuel, no combustion, and nothing to drive the wheels.


Difference between diesel engine and old steam engine?

The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
