Luke is Alive - February 23

Diesel Engine Day

The diesel engine is an alternative internal combustion heat engine whose operating principle is the self-ignition of the fuel due to high temperatures derived from its high compression ratio, according to the principle of the diesel cycle. You can use diesel / gas-oil or heavy oils derived from petroleum as fuel, as well as vegetable oils such as sunflower oil (in fact the first fuel used in this engine was peanut oil). It is also very efficient in terms thermodynamics; the best and most developed ones reach a value of between 50% and 60% of thermal efficiency, (especially in low rpm and high displacement engines) a very high value in relation to almost all the combustion engines; It is one of the most used engines since its creation in various applications.
