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

The History and Development of the Common Rail Diesel Engine To be honest‚ I don’t really know too much about the history or the functions and operations of a diesel engine‚ but I am excited about learning more about it through this assignment and when we go to study it in detail during class. History The evolution of Diesel injections actually began from the invention of the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine wasn’t very efficient‚ even worse than the steam

think being diesel mechanic will be a great job opportunity for me. I will have to go to college and get certified to be a good diesel mechanic and make sure I learn everything I need to know before I go off on my own. I’ll start off by working in a shop for somebody and then eventually go off and open up my own shop and be my own boss. I’m ready to get my hands dirty and get ready for my great upcoming career. Diesel mechanics can inspect‚ keep up to date on everything‚ and repair diesel engines for

Gasoline vs. Diesel You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well‚ gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways. At first glance‚ someone who doesn’t know much about either of the two engines might ask‚ “What’s the difference?” To the untrained eye they might look exactly alike‚ but don’t judge the engine by its exterior look. Gas engines are mainly used by the individual

Let’s start with the basics. Aside from additives such as ethanol‚ which is made from corn‚ the gasoline and diesel fuel commonly used today derive from the same source--crude oil. Although they share the same parentage (just like motor oil‚ some plastics‚ and Velveeta)‚ they have very different properties. Gasoline is often thought of as being a single chemical‚ but it’s actually a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that generally have 4 to 12 carbon atoms in their molecules. In the case of gasoline

. How Do Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine‚ the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine

Does a diesel vehicle save you money? Not always‚ but diesels get great fuel mileage‚ twenty to thirty percent20-30% better than a gas. Aa gas powered pickup truck is lucky to get better than twelve12 or thirteen miles per gallon‚13 mpg while the same model diesel will get eighteen18 miles per gallonmpg or better. Tthis is due to the chemical properties of gasoline and diesel. A diesel has more potential energy in it than gas does so it takes less fuel to get the same amount of useable energy.

II. MECHANICAL STRUCTURE Both being internal combustion type diesel and gasoline engines can be considered as similar. Simply‚ both engines converts chemical energy into mechanical one by burning fuel. In combustion engines the combustion (explosion of fuel) occurs at combustion chamber with ‚ generally‚ help of oxidizer (air‚ another fluid‚ etc.). The output‚ high heat and pressure of the burning process is transfered to other components of the engines which expose pressure as a mechanical energy
