In a typical pressure-volume diagram for a diesel engine, we begin at atmospheric pressure (a) and begin compression of the inlet air to point (b). Here, based on injected fuel control, Rudolph Diesel ...

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That is why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the type ...
