Diesel engine
The
diesel engine
(also known as a
compression-ignition
or CI engine) is an
internal combustion engine
in which
ignition
of the
fuel
that has been injected into the
combustion chamber
is initiated by the high temperature which a gas achieves when greatly compressed (
adiabatic compression
). This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a
petrol engine
(
gasoline
engine) or
gas engine
(using a gaseous fuel as opposed to
petrol
), which use a
spark plug
to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
