Diesel engine
A diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that converts fuel into energy by burning diesel fuel inside cylinders. Unlike gasoline engines, diesel engines use air compression to heat the air to a high temperature, which then ignites the diesel fuel injected into the cylinders. This process produces powerful, efficient motion suitable for trucks, buses, and heavy machinery. Diesel engines are known for their durability, higher fuel efficiency, and greater torque, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. They operate without spark plugs, relying instead on compression to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
