An internal combustion engine transforms the chemical energy and fuel to mechanical energy diesel engines which have been serving mankind for over a century are the most versatile and economical IC engines to release the chemical energy in diesel effectively an atomized former the fuel is made to contact with high-temperature and high-pressure air this energy is effectively transferred as mechanical rotational energy. So the operation other diesel engine is all about producing high temperature and high pressure air continuously we will see how this is achieved in this review piston connecting rod crank in cylinder formal mechanism called slider crank mechanism here the linear motion of the piston is transformed to a rotary motion at the crank in an IC engine this mechanism is properly supported in an engine block cylinder head valves and fuel injector are fitted about the engine block when the piston moves downwards inlet valves open and fresh air from outside is sucked in or in other words the engine breeze during the return stroke inlet and exhaust valves are closed and the air inside the cylinder gets compressed during the compression stroke of the piston does work on the air so the temperature and pressure on the air will rise to a level which is higher the self ignition value of the diesel in atomized former diesel is injected into this compressed air the fuel gets evaporated in undergoes in uncontrolled spontaneous explosion.

As a result the pressure and temperature rise to high level values the high-energy fluid pushes the piston downwards the hot air does work on the piston in energy in the fluid is converted to the mechanical energy of the piston this is the only stroke where the piston absorbs power from the fluid due to inertia of the system the piston moves upwards again this time the exhaust valves open and the exhaust is rejected again the suction stroke pins this cycle which has a total four strokes is repeated over and over for continuous power production you may have noticed that a bowl is it on top of the diesel .
engine piston during the compression stroke this bowl helps produce air that is rapidly swirling thus the injected fuel gets mixed with the air effectively the mechanical designer IC engines particularly bad I've diesel engines is a challenging and interesting task since the combustion process in diesel engines is never uniform and smooth they are prone to more vibration and noise compared to petrol engines thus diesel engines require rugged structural design out of the four strokes it is only during the power stroke that a tremendous amount of force is exerted on the piston so a single cylinder engine will always have high force non-uniformity as shown similarly the output power will also have a fluctuating nature but with more numbers Islanders one can over come these problems consider this four-cylinder engine here four different strokes can occur at the time so the power stroke is always present in the engine as a result old a four-cylinder engine will have better force and power uniformity art the more cylinders and engine has the smoother it will operate a four-cylinder engine generally operates on the following firing.
Order a heavy flywheel which acts like a power reservoir for their help since moving out non-uniformity of power a huge unbalanced force arises in the form of dynamic unbalanced due to the excessive mass at the connecting rod side this is negated by providing counterweights on the crank side opening and closing up valves are accurately controlled by a pair of camshaft camshaft derive motion from the engine it is clear that camshow need to rotate at half the speed of crankshaft we hope you have a nice introduction on the working a diesel engines thank you.
