    A jet engine‚ like a rocket engine‚ is a reaction engine. It works by throwing mass in one direction and taking advantage of the reaction in the opposite direction. In the case of a jet engine‚ the engine burns fuel (like kerosene) with air from the atmosphere. The burning fuel heats and expands the air‚ and this hot air shoots out of the exhaust-end of the engine to create thrust. Most modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the efficiency of the engine and allow the engine to work at low speeds

    Diesel engines are heavier so a 2500 cc diesel engine will be heavier than a 2500 cc petrol engine because stronger parts are needed for their operation‚ this extra weight will reduce their performance levels. The turbo diesel engine will gain a higher percentage of the increase in horsepower but will not automatically become faster than a similar sized gasoline engine with a turbocharger offering the same amount of boost. Complexity is reduced in a diesel engine as there is no ignition system

    ABSTRACT Camless internal combustion engines offer major improvements over traditional engines in terms of efficiency‚ maximum torque and power‚ pollutant emissions. Electromechanical valve actuators are very promising in this context‚ but still present significant control problems. Low valve seating velocity‚ small transition time for valve opening and closing‚ unavailability of position sensor are the main objectives to be considered in the design of the valve control system. Actuator physical
