The number 1 scary reason of the Diesel engine abolition
The Diesel engine, which gave a lot to humanity and to which I personally developed a big affection, will probably disappear in the near future. I think that this engine has a lot of potential (just have a look to all the books written on the subject) and could be made cleaner, if we want it. But there is like a desire to get rid of this engine, for whatever reason. How it started up Let me first tell you, how all this started and how I get to this conclusion. I remember the day, when the Volkswagen scandal comes out. This news was followed by an announcement, that the…

Best books for Diesel mechanic, technician, engineer and researcher
I would like to share with you the best thirteen books that help me to build knowledge on Diesel engines. These books contain basic pieces of information, useful for beginners and technicians, or advanced specific knowledge for engineers and professionals or sometimes both. Only with a set of these books, you can build a good theoretical background to face practical and engineering issues in the field. To clarify, how I selected these books among the huge number of the available books, I would like to go back to my academic journey. When I started my PhD, I had actually no prior knowledge on Diesel engines. I was a control engineer,…

How does Diesel Engine work?
Principal performed operations In general, four principal operations are needed to make a Diesel engine works. Intake of air Compression of the trapped air (including fuel injection at the end of the compression) Expansion (Combustion and performing of the thermodynamic work) Exhaust of the gas produced by the combustion Before explaining how does Diesel engine work, you have to know that the number of needed strokes to perform one thermodynamic cycle define two main categories of engines; the two stroke engines and the four stoke engines. A stroke corresponds actually to one movement of the piston. It can be a movement from the top dead center (TDC) to the bottom…
