Diesel engine and gasoline engine: Detailed explanation
by
Diesel engines and gasoline engines are conceptually pretty similar. Both have internal combustion engines that use chemical energy in fuel to produce mechanical energy. Inside cylinders, this mechanical energy drives pistons up and down. The up-and-down action of the pistons, known as linear motion, produces the rotational motion required to spin a car’s wheels forward.…

Difference between lean burn and rich burn engine
by
in AutomobileThe terms rich-burn and lean-burn simply refer to the air-to-fuel ratio, or how the engine burns fuel. Excess fuel in the combustion chamber during combustion characterizes a rich-burn engine, while excess air in the combustion chamber characterizes a lean-burn engine. In this article, you’ll learn about the rich burn and lean burn engine, their applications,…

Understanding Lean Burn Engines
by
in AutomobileIn an internal combustion engine, lean burn refers to the combustion of fuel with an excess of air. The air-to-fuel ratio in lean-burn engines can be as low as 65:1. (by mass). In comparison, the air/fuel ratio required to stoichiometrically combust gasoline is 14.64:1. In a lean-burn engine, the surplus air produces significantly fewer hydrocarbons.…
