Fundamentals Of The Diesel Cycle:

Diesel engines operate within the principle of the internal combustion engine. There are two general categories of diesel engines, two-cycle, four-cycle. An understanding of how each cycle operates is needed to know how to correctly operate and manage a diesel engine.

EO 1.3 EXPLAIN how a diesel engine converts the chemical energy stored within the diesel fuel within mechanical energy.

EO 1.4 EXPLAIN how the ignition procedure occurs in a diesel engine.

EO 1.5 EXPLAIN the operation of a 4-cycle diesel engine, involving while the following events occur during a cycle:

a. Intake

b. Exhaust

c. Fuel injection

d. Compression

e. Power

EO 1.6 EXPLAIN the operation of a 2-cycle diesel engine, involving while the following events occur during a cycle:

a. Intake

b. Exhaust

c. Fuel injection

d. Compression

e. Power
