1 - Introduction To Diesel Engine
Engine: is a device that converts one form of energy into another form.
Heat engine: is a device that transforms the chemical energy of a fuel into
thermal energy and utilizes this thermal energy to perform useful work.
A Heat engine may be classified based on where the combustion of fuel takes
place, i.e. whether outside the cylinder or inside the cylinder.
- External Combustion Engines
- Internal Combustion Engines

• Gas turbine
Diesel fuel is less volatile than the fractions used in gasoline. In diesel engines the fuel
is ignited not by a spark, as in gasoline engines, but by the heat of air compressed in
the cylinder, with the fuel injected in a spray into the hot compressed air. Diesel fuel
releases more energy on combustion than equal volumes of gasoline, so diesel engines
generally produce better fuel economy than gasoline engines.
Both the engines have basic four-strokes, Intake, Compression, Power, and
Exhaust.
Rudolf Diesel’s
Invention
Diesel engines work by compressing only the air. This increases the air
temperature inside the cylinder to such a high degree that atomized diesel
fuel injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously.

Classification of D.E
9 According to cooling
• Air cooling
• Sea water cooling
• Fresh water cooling
11 According to Power
• The small engines have power-output values of less than 188 kilowatts, or
252 horsepower.
• Medium engines have power capacities ranging from 188 to 750 kilowatts,
or 252 to 1,006 horsepower.
• Large diesel engines have power ratings in excess of 750 kilowatts.
Engine Parameters
Compression ratio (CR): is the ratio of the total volume of the combustion
chamber to the volume left after complete compression i.e. clearance volume.
In simple words, it is the ratio between the total volume of the combustion
chamber which is left when the piston is at its bottom dead center and the
volume left inside the combustion chamber when the piston moves to its top
dead center.
Compression Ratio
The ratio between the volume of air at the start of compression Vt
and the volume of air at the end of compression Vc .
CR= Vt / Vc
CR = 100 / 5 = 20
• Stroke
The distance which the piston move between the TDC and BDC .
Definitions
• Bore
Cylinder liner inner diameter
• Clearance Volume
The volume of the engine cylinder between the cylinder head and the top
dead center
• Swept Volume
The volume of the engine cylinder between the top dead center and the
bottom dead center
• Total Volume
Total volume = Clearance volume + swept volume
