Vroom! Diesel mechanics proves to be an interesting career. There are many tools needed in this area to fulfill the career‚ which means money. Diesel engines have been around for a long time now. This job field covers several different kinds of jobs such as truck mechanics and repair and maintenance. A Diesel engine is an engine that starts itself by compression. These engines first started in America. The first diesel engine was invented in 1892. In 1930 they started putting the diesel motors

A diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine and sometimes capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline)‚ which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel

Diesel Engines Diesel engines are everywhere; they are used in all sorts of vehicle platforms. From Volkswagen Jetta’s‚ to big eighteen wheel tractor trailer trucks. They provide more torque then a regular gasoline engine because of the long stroke of the piston. Most diesel engines make peak torque at very low rpm. Diesel engines do not have spark plugs. They develop combustion by heating up the air going into the cylinder‚ while the air is heated the fuel injector sprays into the bowl of

Rudolf Diesel was born on March 18‚ 1858 in Paris France the second of three children of Elise and Theodor diesel. Diesel spent is early childhood in France but because of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 his family was forced to leave and moved to London. At 12 years old his parents sent him to live with his aunt and uncle because they wanted him to attend royal country trade school where his uncle was a math teacher and to become fluent in German. At age 14 he wrote a letter to his parents saying

Diesel Fuel is the Future Craig W. Brown COMM/215 March 3‚ 2013 RODNEY SPRAUVE Diesel Fuel is the Future Even though the cost of diesel is higher per gallon‚ diesel Fuel is more efficient because diesel fuel burns hotter creating more energy and it requires less to refine. Diesel fuel is more efficient than the internal combustion engine due to the higher temperature of combustion and greater expansion ratio. The typical gasoline engine is 30% efficient while the diesel engine normally

Diesel Engine Heat engines are sometimes referred to as being motors. Actually‚ a motor converts one form of energy into useful work without the intentional production of heat‚ such as an electric motor. A device which burns fuel creating heat to perform work is a heat engine. Heat engines can be classified as external combustion‚ such as steam boiler‚ or internal combustion (IC). They can further be divided into the spark ignited (SI) engine or the compression ignited engine (CI). The compression

The Diesel Engine Diesel engines are very similar to the gasoline engine you may find in a car. They both are internal combustion engines‚ have a four stroke cycle‚ and convert chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy. However‚ the manner in which the combustion stroke is attained sets these two engines apart‚ and although a seemingly meaningless change‚ a large change in efficiency results. (Diesel Engines vs. Gasoline Engines) The diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1892

Christian Libby 2nd hour Auto Tech 1 Tech Report on Diesel Exhaust Fluid Diesel trucks could be run with a lean air-to-fuel ratio‚ to ensure the full combustion of soot and to prevent the exhaust of unburnt fuel. The excess of oxygen necessarily leads to nitrogen oxides (NOx)‚ which are harmful gases‚ from the nitrogen in the air. Selective catalytic reduction (diesel exhaust fluid) is used to reduce the amount of NOx released into the atmosphere. Diesel exhaust fluid (from a separate DEF tank) is injected
