Hi there! Nice job making these animations! There are also 2-stroke engines, which should get some attention too, because they also have some pros and cons, for example most of them have better acceleration.
Muhammad Hasham Ul Mulk okay muhammad, just tried it this morning and reporting in to let you know what happened. At first it tasted a little weird going down, burned a little, similar to alcohol but more of a harsh chemical after taste. it wasn't more than a minute later that my heart began pumping rather fast and my head felt very hot, i was already sitting down but felt i needed to lay down. then i started shaking a bit feeling cold after about 3 minutes. at about 4 or 5 minutes i began convulsively vomiting and dry heaving which lasted about an hour. still feeling cold and nauseated i couldn't eat or drink for the rest of the day. my stomach felt as if it was inside out and i have a major headache since the vomiting. anyway I'm going to go to sleep soon and try it again tomorrow, assuming this was probably just a bad reaction because my body wast used to diesel yet.
+Steve Smith try mixing it with a little of Red bull to emphasise it as u may be used to red bull which ur body my appeal taking let me know what happened? 😉😂
Indra Ida Bagus It's the old time the emissions in diesel engine worse than in the petrol engine. Now, the emission in diesel engine is better than the old time and the petrol engine.
Ari Gunawan Yes, that's true. Diesel engines have made good advancement in recent years due to the technologies like turbocharging, direct injection and EGR.
Learn Engineering You indicate that irregular combustion is causing the particulate matter. I had understood, that a higher rate of combustion in diesels is achieved overall - resulting in a higher Carbon Dioxide to Carbon Monoxide ratio. The more fully oxidized carbon means more power and less poisonous carbon monoxide. I assume this is the efficiency of compression. While some is not completely oxidized - creating soot, most is completely oxidized - creating more carbon-dioxide than carbon-monoxide. Is this correct? Although, you can't see the pollution in the gasoline engine, it is the carbon monoxide which is the danger. I think the carbon-monoxide problem is more of a pollution hazard than the particulate. While you can't mention everything in a video, one aspect of diesel is safety. I belong to an association that rebuilds and maintains antique railway equipment. Diesel is not prone to detonating or burning outside of its intended combustion chambers due to its flash points while gasoline is very dangerous in creating fires and explosions outside of the combustion chambers. When working with large volumes of the materials in industrial situations, it makes a difference. We have had fire problems with the gasoline pony motor that starts the diesel motor in the railway crane, but never in the diesel motors. At the beginning of Standard Oil, the chemists considered there was no safe consumer use for products in the gasoline volatility range.
Point of clarification (correct me if I am wrong). Modern gasoline engines use a fuel injector along with the spark plug, as opposed to diesel engines that only need a fuel injector (and heater glow plugs for cold starts). And of course, carburetors were used before injectors to mix the fuel with incoming air, also requiring a spark plug.
+IIGrayfoxII In modern VW & Audi diesel engines the fuel is compressed to something like 20000 bar. The fuel pump uses the the diesel fuel as a lubricant. If you put petrol into one of these engines the fuel pump will destroy itself because it has lost is lubrication.
+MasterMorality Master Yes they are The process of distilling crude oil you will get the following. Asphalt>Fuel Oil>Lubrication Oils>Diesel>Kerosene>Petrol>Naptha>LPG
If you accidentally mix gasoline with Diesel or visa versa at the Pump, it's not such a big deal, you could just ride it out albeit with some spattering and splurting.
+BRITANTYO WICAKSONO (FREEMASTER) Yes, how the video shows, the diesel engine has fuel injectors where the gasoline engine has spark plugs, so the diesel engine intake valves are just for the air
@@clarianken4223 One reason why gas heats when it is compressed, is the friction of the piston moving along the cylinder walls. Another more significant reason why it heats when compressed, is the work done on the gas, increasing its pressure and decreasing its volume, goes into its internal energy, which therefore manifests as a rise in temperature.
I always thought that gasoline is way superior to diesel in any sense up till the point where he says that diesel is more efficient due to the better compression. Gasoline is smooth combustion and diesel is uncontrollable explosion, and I always thought bus companies and heavy machinery used it because of low cost and they don't care about noise, and now I am wrong. Nice explantion
Diesel engines are used in heavy machinery and large vehicles like buses and semis because they create more torque at much lower rpms to lift and haul heavy things. This not only reduces wear and tear on the engine and other moving parts, but saves fuel too.
+Jane Gerrard Cost is the main driver in Europe. Plus Diesel engines over here in the states have a bad rap for being noisy and stinky. I assure you, once fuel prices in the states start approaching what they are in Europe, US will adopt more diesels. UNLESS, HCCI technology can be perfected. It's the best of both worlds.
so in other words you could adjust the valve timing and lean out the fuel to air mixture on a diesel engine in order to run I gasoline. or better yet make it be 2 stroke, and add a little silicone based lubricant into the fuel, and you have an extremely efficient engine that never requires an oil change. Also the engine would be able to run high rpm's, and also have a very simple minimalist design.
The glow plugs do in fact ignite the air/fuel mixture... the difference is they are only used on starting... not running. Of course glow plugs are redundant.. most Diesel engines don't have glow plugs
@Trex *FALSE, most Diesel engine designs DO NOT have glow plugs, Glow plugs are typically found in Automotive and Light Duty and some Medium Duty engines... Glow Plug systems are rare on Heavy Duty type engines.*
Petrol (gasoline) engines are a thing of the past here in the UK, Diesel engines have rapidly taken over the market within the past 10-15 years and are seen as ultra modern, economical, low emission engines. America need to go the same way and move with the times!
+Jemalacane0 If you do that, make sure to change anything in your fuel system that's made out of rubber to biodiesel-compatible rubber or to braided stainless steel - this mainly means the fuel hoses. Biodiesel has very strong solvent action, so it can eat the lining off fuel hoses and wash rubber into your fuel injectors. Also be sure to replace your fuel filter after each tank for the first three or four, because all the crap in your tank and lines will wind up in your filter. Also...biodiesel makes THE BEST parts cleaner in the world because it is such a good solvent.
jblsound13 I was a fan of diesel when only I and few others had it (I had diesels since the 80s). Now I hate the loud noise the traffic makes :) What makes matters worse it's that nowadays they're all direct-injections, way noisier than the indirect injections used in the 80s.
Russell Rai are you for real?? My little old 1.7cdti would leave most of your old fuel guzzling monsters trailing long behind you idiot, my 3.0TDi Audi Q7 would simply put you to shame!
Glow plug is only used to preheat the cylinders so a cold engine will start easier. Once the engine is warm enough, they turn off. Really old diesel engines didn't have glow plugs and they ran fine...if your definition of "fine" includes cranking the engine for an hour in the winter until the cylinders got hot enough to ignite the fuel.
The strange thing is, I thought we were talking about diesel-powered four-stroke automotive engines rather than 2-stroke model airplane engines. Diesels don't even need glow plugs to run. Old Cats, Cummins and Detroit Diesels didn't have them...and in the winter, you NEVER turned the engine off in a semi because you might be stuck there till spring if you did. Guys who ran pre-glow-plug diesel construction equipment like scrapers and bulldozers would heat the block with a blowtorch to get it hot enough to crank, and shoot ether into the intake system to give the engine something to run on until it got going well enough to run on diesel. (For even more fun, some of those really old diesels had "pony motors" instead of starters. A pony motor was a good-size (20 to 30 hp) gas engine. You started the pony motor then used it to start the diesel.)
Gasoline engine is more powerfull, but diesel engine is strongest then gasoline, i have diesel Mercedes car from 1980, he has more than one million km (600k miles) and it works perfectly.
+Maestro_T Yes they do. They actually make very good diesels. The problem they had is meeting the government standards which they did do. VW also tried to meet the standards of their customers who expected a certain amount of power and mileage. They also met those. VW was off my a very small amount from the government numbers which themselves are a very small number. Did they cheat to make it seem they hit the numbers? Maybe, but then people don't want to pay the cost of the car if they did it completely above board as the government says.
Im a little bit confused now, you say that a diesel uses a fuel injector instead of a spark plug... Does it not use a glow plug AND a fuel injector? The Glow plug taking place of a spark plug? Having a fuel injector in the combustion chamber is known as common rail/direct injection, you say gasoline engines MUST be premixed with air, yet it has been practice with the most efficient of gasoline 4 stroke engines over the last 20 years, and is more and more common today, to use common rail/direct injection fuel injection (with an injector and a spark plug in the combustion chamber just like the diesel) in gasoline engines. Sounds like some severely wrong information being given here.
Craig Kulig Even in 'direct injection' engines, the combustion does not happen due to the injection. It is just another method of making fuel-air mixture. To initiate the combustion the spark plug should be activated.
No bro the glow plugs on a diesel are used in the initial starting of an IDI or indirect ignition diesel engine ie when its cold, think of the glow plug as like a miniature coil on your electric stove. So the glow plugs doesn't really ignite the fuel in the diesel like a spark plug in a gas. The glow plug heats up the cold cylinder to get the air hot in the diesel,because of its high flash point. Gas and air mix on intake stroke, diesel and air mix on Powerstroke.
Craig Kulig Glow plugs are a common form of an intake air preheat on indirect injection diesels, they only function when the intake/charge air or engine temperature is below a certain point to aid in combustion. Air heats up as it compresses, and the astronomical cylinder pressures created by the 16:1 and higher compression ratios found in diesel engines super heat the air uniformly throughout the combustion chamber, which is necessary to ignite the diesel, where as a spark plug is used in a gasoline engine because of the atomized fuel's higher volatility. Don't confuse common rail and direct injection as being the same thing, either. Common rail fuel systems are a relatively new technology utilizing electronic solenoid unit injectors for both direct and indirect injection engines. Direct injection has been around almost as long as diesel engines themselves. Unlike gasoline engines equipped with direct injection, diesel engines inject fuel just before top dead center on the compression stroke, that's why it's not uncommon to see dynamic injection pressures up to 6000 psi on pre-21st century engines, and over 30000 psi on modern common rail fuel systems.
Learn Engineering couldn't you run gasoline safely in a diesel if you retarted the injection timing to after tdc? Wouldn't diesel spontaniously combust in direct injection gasoline engines? especially since diesel stochiometric ratio is slightly lower than gasoline? how is diesel in gas engine safe but gas in diesel engine not safe if diesel engine is more durable than gas engine?
Craig Kulig No, direct gasoline injection is still not widely dispersed as you think it is, most of the time injector is located just in front of the intake valve, not directly in cylinder, or its done like central injection, single injector being in middle of intake manifold, but its less accurate and requires more fuel than individual injection (each cylinder has its own injector, but its located in front of valve)..Long story short, direct fuel injuection is copying of how diesel engine works and applying it to gasoline engine to make them more efficient, but it has its own downsides, such as valve erosion, requires more often cleaning and so on..
The video is a bit confusing, it not only compares gasoline and diesel engines, it also mixes in different ways of fuel injection. Many modern gasoline engines use direct fuel injection as well.
at 2:48, the formula for C.R is wrong, it should be the other way around, C.R=V_total/V_clearance to get a number higher than 1, such as for example C.R=18 for diesel engine.
Kelly Burgess Yes they do but diesel doesn't have spark plugs. I'm guessing the injectors go where the spark plugs normally go in a petrol engine. I think that's what he was trying to get to.
+Slimane AISSAOUI Because diesel engines produce torque typically from about 2000 to 4000 RPM, while gas engines produce their torque in way higher revs. That's why the gas engine has more power. You want the power in a sports car.
+Slimane AISSAOUI They don't generally respond to throttle changes quickly. They're great in endurance racing tho; over the last ten years, nine diesels have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
+jmowreader Diesel engines are not used in sports cars because they have lower power density.. because there maximum operating rpm is limited by the flame propagation speed
+HerkimerSnerd While the Audi R10 is very impressive for a Diesel powered car.. its performance for a 5.5 liter with 45psi of manifold pressure is not very impressive by modern racing standards. This is due to the fact that the R10 can only rev continuously up to 5,000 rpm.. it can only overrev for a maximum of 5 seconds before damage due to overheating the turbos occurs.. above 5,000 there is not enough combustion dwell to completely burn the fuel this is due to the limited injection timing and high rpms that all Diesel engines are limited by.. the flame speed limits the propagation of the air/fuel mixture

You could use rail injection on petrol engine for better information, and for the users to understand, looks like you draw the old non injector petrol engine ;) btw usefull info.
dang my household all using diesel mini truck and all is running fine for a long time only a few maintainance. And now our diesel engine can also using Natural Gas + Diesel Fuel to save more money lol. Noise and Vibration doesn't bother me while fuel and maintainance cost is quite cheap
+Ghost Each fuel type has its uses. Diesel is better for longer running and more torque driven applications, and gasoline is great for the racers and every day drivers. Diesel is louder because it is much higher pressure, and unless you get a Duramax Allison Chevy or a newer Ford, the engine will be loud.
and again 2:23. it is a controlled process. squeeze, is when the piston comes back to TDC and compresses the air fuel mixture causing an increased temperature and ignition...
Thanks for explaination :D Great video, simple and easy to understand. Exactly what I was looking for :) Stamble across it accidentally and now I'm one answer closer to satisfing my curiosity :P
3 роки тому
Sharing is great and meaningful wishing you success in life sharing more or more videos.
Really these video helps but I would like to ask that why petrol engine is air fuel mixing while diesel engine is not?what is the diff??Why both are not air fuel mix or only mixing??
hema pradhan Both mix fuel and air, only at different stages of their operational cycles, in petrol engine during intake stroke fuel-air mixture enters the cylinder, in diesel engine during intake stroke only air enters the cylinder, either in atmospheric state or compressed.
hema pradhan When petrol is vapourized it becomes a gas which mixes perfectly with air. So the combustion chamber is completely filled with an explosive gas mixture. The temperature in the chamber should never rise above ingnition level due to compression. Therefore the maximum compression is limited. Ignition is done just in the right moment by the sparkplug. In a diesel engine the compression is high enough to exceed ignition level. So the explosion would start before the cylinder reaches its highest point - it would kickback. To avoid a premature explosion of gases the diesel is injected just in time. Here are two infomericals about direct injectinon on gasoline engines: watch?v=LjJSbHxIvnM and on diesel injection: watch?v=5VLNOFh0a3k
Just one small detail: Around 2:51 of the video you give the C.R. values to be between 18-24 for Diesel and 8-10 for Gasoline. As a basis for the result you quote the expression Vclearance/Vtotal. Obviously, this value will be lower than unity (at least that transpires from the animation where Vclearance and Vtotal are presented). I'm guessing it's one of those small errors everyone makes from time to time cause it's so obvious, however it may be good if you just rewrite the expression for C.R. to the appropriate one matching the quoted values. Keep up great work with videos! Best regards, Piotr.
2:43 If the compression ratio can be determined/controlled by the time the fuel is ignited by the spark plug which is the physical area of the combustion chamber at the time of ignition, how come it is not possible to make high compression ratio in gasoline engine?
I wonder if anyone has experimented with blending a mixture of diesel and gas to get the rapid ignition of gasoline and the slower burn of diesel. I remember the fire department using a mixture of both to make a fire that could ignite and grow quick but burn longer for training people on fire extinguishers.
Between the end of World War II and the mid-1970s, people in cold climates mixed either gasoline or kerosene with diesel during the winter. It worked but it's not safe.
The US Military operates every single combat vehicle with a Diesel engines on JP-8 jet fuel which contains hydrocarbon cuts that range between gasoline and kerosene

Hi
0:33 - 0:41 - best explanation than the most vids i watched. Seriously
Petrol in a diesel will also kill the fuel pump as diesel is more oily in nature and lubricates the fuel pump

Also the engine would be able to run high rpm's, and also have a very simple minimalist design.

Guys who ran pre-glow-plug diesel construction equipment like scrapers and bulldozers would heat the block with a blowtorch to get it hot enough to crank, and shoot ether into the intake system to give the engine something to run on until it got going well enough to run on diesel. (For even more fun, some of those really old diesels had "pony motors" instead of starters. A pony motor was a good-size (20 to 30 hp) gas engine. You started the pony motor then used it to start the diesel.)
Gasoline engine is more powerfull, but diesel engine is strongest then gasoline, i have diesel Mercedes car from 1980, he has more than one million km (600k miles) and it works perfectly.
Did you not inverse the two photos at 3:00 ? Because we have a better compression ratio with Diesel and the photo shows a spark plug?
Modern Gasoline engine also contains injector :-)
Gromosław Śmiały or carburetor
I wrote: modern engine, in other words under production :-)
Gromosław Śmiały oh ok i didnt see that, thanks
pretty much every gasoline powered car since the late 80's has used fuel injectors.
Yes, but they still have a spark plug to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines don't.
Awesome video! Thanks and keep up with the good work!
Thank you for the simple explanation :)
But why do i keep getting redirected here from the website ? or is it a problem with my computer ?
Muhammad Halawa Sorry for the technical error. We have rectified it. Thank you for notifying it :)
a million thanks 'Learn Engineering'
Diesel in a gasoline engine: **Ignition sound** **silence**
Gasoline in diesel engine: **Bang** *thunk** **thunk** *thunk** *KABOOM*
Well explained, thanks for sharing sir.
thank you for making it clear:)
What software did you use to simulate it? Thanks !
I hear Volkswagen knows a lot about diesel engines and making them clean, is this true?
***** It was a sarcastic joke. :P
+Maestro_T LOL
+Maestro_T Yes they do. They actually make very good diesels. The problem they had is meeting the government standards which they did do.
VW also tried to meet the standards of their customers who expected a certain amount of power and mileage. They also met those.
VW was off my a very small amount from the government numbers which themselves are a very small number. Did they cheat to make it seem they hit the numbers? Maybe, but then people don't want to pay the cost of the car if they did it completely above board as the government says.
Tigerfire75 Thanks, Buzz Killington. :P

Well what did I get wrong?
Very nice Demo of Diesel 4 stroke / Petrol ( gasoline ) 2 stroke ENGINES.
Im a little bit confused now, you say that a diesel uses a fuel injector instead of a spark plug... Does it not use a glow plug AND a fuel injector? The Glow plug taking place of a spark plug?
Having a fuel injector in the combustion chamber is known as common rail/direct injection, you say gasoline engines MUST be premixed with air, yet it has been practice with the most efficient of gasoline 4 stroke engines over the last 20 years, and is more and more common today, to use common rail/direct injection fuel injection (with an injector and a spark plug in the combustion chamber just like the diesel) in gasoline engines. Sounds like some severely wrong information being given here.
Craig Kulig Even in 'direct injection' engines, the combustion does not happen due to the injection. It is just another method of making fuel-air mixture. To initiate the combustion the spark plug should be activated.
No bro the glow plugs on a diesel are used in the initial starting of an IDI or indirect ignition diesel engine ie when its cold, think of the glow plug as like a miniature coil on your electric stove. So the glow plugs doesn't really ignite the fuel in the diesel like a spark plug in a gas. The glow plug heats up the cold cylinder to get the air hot in the diesel,because of its high flash point. Gas and air mix on intake stroke, diesel and air mix on Powerstroke.
Craig Kulig Glow plugs are a common form of an intake air preheat on indirect injection diesels, they only function when the intake/charge air or engine temperature is below a certain point to aid in combustion. Air heats up as it compresses, and the astronomical cylinder pressures created by the 16:1 and higher compression ratios found in diesel engines super heat the air uniformly throughout the combustion chamber, which is necessary to ignite the diesel, where as a spark plug is used in a gasoline engine because of the atomized fuel's higher volatility. Don't confuse common rail and direct injection as being the same thing, either. Common rail fuel systems are a relatively new technology utilizing electronic solenoid unit injectors for both direct and indirect injection engines. Direct injection has been around almost as long as diesel engines themselves. Unlike gasoline engines equipped with direct injection, diesel engines inject fuel just before top dead center on the compression stroke, that's why it's not uncommon to see dynamic injection pressures up to 6000 psi on pre-21st century engines, and over 30000 psi on modern common rail fuel systems.
Learn Engineering couldn't you run gasoline safely in a diesel if you retarted the injection timing to after tdc? Wouldn't diesel spontaniously combust in direct injection gasoline engines? especially since diesel stochiometric ratio is slightly lower than gasoline? how is diesel in gas engine safe but gas in diesel engine not safe if diesel engine is more durable than gas engine?
Craig Kulig No, direct gasoline injection is still not widely dispersed as you think it is, most of the time injector is located just in front of the intake valve, not directly in cylinder, or its done like central injection, single injector being in middle of intake manifold, but its less accurate and requires more fuel than individual injection (each cylinder has its own injector, but its located in front of valve)..Long story short, direct fuel injuection is copying of how diesel engine works and applying it to gasoline engine to make them more efficient, but it has its own downsides, such as valve erosion, requires more often cleaning and so on..
The video is a bit confusing, it not only compares gasoline and diesel engines, it also mixes in different ways of fuel injection. Many modern gasoline engines use direct fuel injection as well.
+Learn Engineering I have a question. with which program you create this animation
Blender, I think
at 2:48, the formula for C.R is wrong, it should be the other way around, C.R=V_total/V_clearance to get a number higher than 1, such as for example C.R=18 for diesel engine.
Good video but both vehicles have an injector.
Kelly Burgess Yes they do but diesel doesn't have spark plugs. I'm guessing the injectors go where the spark plugs normally go in a petrol engine. I think that's what he was trying to get to.
we talk about engine in general
I think he's talking about instead of a spark plug there is a fuel injector in the same location
yes modern petrol engines are fuel injected which makes them more efficient by causing fuel to burn completely
Best video I have seen comparing the two engines.
-Do you prefer diesel or gaz ?
Mazda : Yes
The best video on the hole internet for this explanation!!!
MISTAKE
compression ratio is total volume divided by clearance.
Aakash Devadiga yesssss, Mistake
Yessss great video but great mistake
Andh bro..alakka wrong😂
Simple and useful video 😊🙏
if the diesel engine is so efficient, why it is not used in sport cars ?
+Slimane AISSAOUI Because diesel engines produce torque typically from about 2000 to 4000 RPM, while gas engines produce their torque in way higher revs. That's why the gas engine has more power. You want the power in a sports car.
+Slimane AISSAOUI They don't generally respond to throttle changes quickly. They're great in endurance racing tho; over the last ten years, nine diesels have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
+jmowreader Diesel engines are not used in sports cars because they have lower power density.. because there maximum operating rpm is limited by the flame propagation speed
***** Nah, I just know a lot more about Diesel engines that most people can understand..
+HerkimerSnerd While the Audi R10 is very impressive for a Diesel powered car.. its performance for a 5.5 liter with 45psi of manifold pressure is not very impressive by modern racing standards.
This is due to the fact that the R10 can only rev continuously up to 5,000 rpm.. it can only overrev for a maximum of 5 seconds before damage due to overheating the turbos occurs.. above 5,000 there is not enough combustion dwell to completely burn the fuel this is due to the limited injection timing and high rpms that all Diesel engines are limited by.. the flame speed limits the propagation of the air/fuel mixture
This a great video to understand both diesel and petrol engines
wait... compression ratio should be Vtotal/Vclearance right?? 🤔 2:51
I have e-mailed you to see if we can use these videos in our training courses for HVAC, Power Production, Plumbing and Electrical apprentice classes. Please reply to my email so we can work out the details. Great videos on explaining engineering topics. Thanks again, Seth Moening

I would like to embed the flash video into a PDF document. But I need a digital copy of video. We will give credit to you for the video
Thanks!!
its not technology that made internet useful, its because of people like you willing to share information freely that powered the internet. Thank you for allowing them to use this video.
1:52 There's something missing in the explanation here since gasoline engines also use fuel injectors.
diesel cars are for old people and farmers
+Tommyownzz Nobody should insult the diesel, u f*cking petrol scumbag! Audi R10 TDI is faster than a Ferrari!

Diesel rules
Vin Diesel
Great learning experience. Nice video
You could use rail injection on petrol engine for better information, and for the users to understand, looks like you draw the old non injector petrol engine ;)
btw usefull info.
at 2:52, the relation for compression ratio is incorrect, it is inverted.
Diesel sucks.
JMaster No it doesnt, it burns less fuel, which is cheaper, and thats all that it matters.
Of course diesel is good, but for military vehicles.
***** but the engines are loud and obnoxious. The ones in cars all sound the same, petrol is nicer and quieter.
dang my household all using diesel mini truck and all is running fine for a long time only a few maintainance.
And now our diesel engine can also using Natural Gas + Diesel Fuel to save more money lol. Noise and Vibration doesn't bother me while fuel and maintainance cost is quite cheap
+Ghost Each fuel type has its uses. Diesel is better for longer running and more torque driven applications, and gasoline is great for the racers and every day drivers. Diesel is louder because it is much higher pressure, and unless you get a Duramax Allison Chevy or a newer Ford, the engine will be loud.
Petrol (Gasoline) for Light Vehicles, while Diesel for Heavy Vehicles
beautiful explanation sir..
1:50 I think you mean, fuel/mix mixture is ignited by compression in a diesel where a petrol uses a spark plug...
and again 2:23. it is a controlled process. squeeze, is when the piston comes back to TDC and compresses the air fuel mixture causing an increased temperature and ignition...
It's an amazing information for a UG engineer thank you
I wish I like to get some more interesting information like this thank you
Thanks for explaination :D Great video, simple and easy to understand. Exactly what I was looking for :) Stamble across it accidentally and now I'm one answer closer to satisfing my curiosity :P
Sharing is great and meaningful wishing you success in life sharing more or more videos.
Very informative video. Thank you.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing !
Really these video helps but I would like to ask that why petrol engine is air fuel mixing while diesel engine is not?what is the diff??Why both are not air fuel mix or only mixing??
hema pradhan Both mix fuel and air, only at different stages of their operational cycles, in petrol engine during intake stroke fuel-air mixture enters the cylinder, in diesel engine during intake stroke only air enters the cylinder, either in atmospheric state or compressed.
hema pradhan When petrol is vapourized it becomes a gas which mixes perfectly with air. So the combustion chamber is completely filled with an explosive gas mixture. The temperature in the chamber should never rise above ingnition level due to compression. Therefore the maximum compression is limited. Ignition is done just in the right moment by the sparkplug.
In a diesel engine the compression is high enough to exceed ignition level. So the explosion would start before the cylinder reaches its highest point - it would kickback. To avoid a premature explosion of gases the diesel is injected just in time.
Here are two infomericals about direct injectinon on gasoline engines: watch?v=LjJSbHxIvnM
and on diesel injection: watch?v=5VLNOFh0a3k
Thanks matekochkoch n *****
Just one small detail: Around 2:51 of the video you give the C.R. values to be between 18-24 for Diesel and 8-10 for Gasoline. As a basis for the result you quote the expression Vclearance/Vtotal. Obviously, this value will be lower than unity (at least that transpires from the animation where Vclearance and Vtotal are presented). I'm guessing it's one of those small errors everyone makes from time to time cause it's so obvious, however it may be good if you just rewrite the expression for C.R. to the appropriate one matching the quoted values. Keep up great work with videos! Best regards, Piotr.
Very good and simple explanation gracias
Hey you are awesome. Mind blowing explanation
@2:47 , CR equation is got reversed,,,it should be ratio of V total by V clearance...
2:20 i dont get it. So diesel combust everywhere while gasoline combust slowly? I thought immediate combustion is desirable in an ice engine?
very good and informative sir
Best explanation on this topic I found.
The Compression ratio that you've mentioned in the video (at 2:52) is wrong. Infact, it's the reciprocal of what you've shown. Btw great video!
2:43 If the compression ratio can be determined/controlled by the time the fuel is ignited by the spark plug which is the physical area of the combustion chamber at the time of ignition, how come it is not possible to make high compression ratio in gasoline engine?
So we just need to have a higher compression ratio to make engines more efficient? 2:55 he says it's not possible but I feel like it is.
You can only increase the compression ratio so much. At higher compression ratios the fuel will detonate.
Which one is better in case of heavy duty usage?
you are doing great work
keep it continue
I wonder if anyone has experimented with blending a mixture of diesel and gas to get the rapid ignition of gasoline and the slower burn of diesel. I remember the fire department using a mixture of both to make a fire that could ignite and grow quick but burn longer for training people on fire extinguishers.
Between the end of World War II and the mid-1970s, people in cold climates mixed either gasoline or kerosene with diesel during the winter. It worked but it's not safe.
The US Military operates every single combat vehicle with a Diesel engines on JP-8 jet fuel which contains hydrocarbon cuts that range between gasoline and kerosene
Excellent explanation
Thanks! great vid, as usual :)
Ok really. Great vid. The facts a wrong xD. Don't trust this channel
First comment and this video is really cool, learned from it.
Johnathan Taylor Thank you ! We are happy to know that :)
Stuffed up a bit gasoline uses both fuel injectors and spark plugs where as diesel uses only fuel injectors
Interesting video
