    Combustion
In summary, a diesel engine compresses air and injects fuel to ignite it, while a turbine engine uses continuous combustion. A diesel engine compresses air, injects fuel, and creates a controlled explosion to power the vehicle. Fuel is essential in providing energy for a combustion engine. A turbine engine differs from a traditional one by using a rotary motion and being more efficient and compact. The advantages of a diesel engine include fuel efficiency, longer lifespan, and more torque, but they can be more expensive to maintain and have higher emissions.

Can someone help me to describe specifically on combustion engine. Especially on Diesel and Turbine (Power Turbine).

That's a bit of a broad remit.

What area would you like to know about?
 
  • #3
You put fuel in, it's mixed with air, you burn it, it produces power.

Ask a vague question and expect a vague answer.

for Power turbine you have to check >> Brayton cycle , Consider this page for brayton cycle. http://www.firavia.com/sol.pdf

1. What is the difference between a diesel engine and a turbine engine?

A diesel engine works by compressing air and then injecting fuel into the compressed air to ignite it, while a turbine engine uses a continuous combustion process where air and fuel are mixed and ignited continuously.

2. How does a diesel engine work?

A diesel engine works by compressing air in the combustion chamber, which increases its temperature. Then, fuel is injected into the compressed air, causing it to ignite and create a controlled explosion. This explosion pushes the piston down, which turns the crankshaft and ultimately powers the vehicle.

3. What is the role of fuel in a combustion engine?

Fuel is an essential component of a combustion engine as it provides the energy needed to power the vehicle. In a diesel engine, fuel is injected into the compressed air and ignited, while in a turbine engine, fuel is continuously mixed with air and ignited to produce a continuous flow of energy.

4. How does a turbine engine differ from a traditional combustion engine?

A turbine engine differs from a traditional combustion engine in that it does not have pistons and cylinders. Instead, it uses a rotary motion to convert fuel and air into energy, making it more efficient and compact compared to a traditional engine.

5. What are the advantages of using a diesel engine over a gasoline engine?

Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines, meaning they can travel farther on the same amount of fuel. They also have a longer lifespan and produce more torque, making them better suited for heavy-duty vehicles and towing. However, they can be more expensive to maintain and are not as environmentally friendly due to higher emissions of pollutants.
