Invention Of Diesel Engine

Invention Of Diesel Engine


 While it can be asserted that the diesel engine was, indeed invented by Paris-born inventor Rudolf Diesel 
(1858-1913), It is not the case that we can attribute to him the very first "Diesel engine".
              "Diesel engine" has for some time been the genetic term used to describe any compression ignition (CI), Internal combustion engine,that is an engine that has no carburetor or spark plugs but instead injects a   fuel oil directly into the cylinder. becouse the piston has compressed the air therein so tightly,it is hot enough to ignite the fuel with no spark. As a cold engine cannot ignite the diesel fuel, glow plugs are sometimes used to preheat the cylinder.
               Diesel research CI engine technology for many years, testing a variety of fuels ranging from cold dust to thick tar-type oil. his engine design was patented in 1892- some two years after a patent for a CI engine had already been issue to one Herbert Akroyd Stuart patent is but one of several related patents jointly filled by him and Charles Richard Binney
               It was following demonstration of CI engines at the munich exhibition of 1898, and the paris exhibition of 1900, that Diesel's name became synonymous with both the style of engine and the kerosene-type fuel ultimately selected to power it. exellent fuel economy and the Non-explosive nature of the fuel itself ensured the engines widespread success.
      Diesel actually foresaw the potential of (and ultimate need for ) organically derived fuel sources. he died at sea after falling from the steamer, " Dresdel "In september
