“Diesel engines, long reputed for being loud and dirty, are making waves in the U.S.,” says Alex Davies of Business Insider. With the never ending evolution of modern technology, the diesel engine has come a long way since its invention in the late 19th century. With new advancements in technology, the diesel engine is no longer loud and dirty as it was in the past. In fact, with modern advancements, diesel engines have come to possess many advantages over gasoline engines. Modern diesel engines…

Gary Monroe Gas or Diesel? 10/26/14 S. Lee Gas or Diesel? For many years consumers in the United States have viewed diesel as a non-option for an alternative to traditional gasoline. This is due to a major stigma against diesel fuel and a plethora of myths and outdated 'facts ' about it. While other countries have diesel as a major share of the automotive market, the United States diesel sales make up less than 5% of the market. Although many in the United States are against diesel as an alternative…

have been mainly diesel and gasoline engines. Despite the fact that both are considered internal combustion engines, each type of engines comes with unique advantages and disadvantages when compared to its counterpart (Curtis and Anderson 45). The primary difference between gasoline and diesel engines is in the ignition process. Gasoline engines use spark plugs for the ignition of the fuel and air mixture, a process technically referred to as Otto cycle. On the other hand, diesel engines attain combustion…

4 24 January 2016 Gas vs. Diesel Emissions Gasoline and diesel vehicles have been around for a long period of time ever since they were first designed around the 1930’s. The diesel market is in the middle of a revolution. Over the years that diesel has been around there are new enhancements that are increasing engine power and torque, lowering emissions and enhancing fuel economy, creating new and cleaner diesel vehicles. Through advancements in technology, gasoline and diesel powered vehicles have…

Hypothesis: Biodiesel is a viable and in some cases a superior alternative fuel for transport as compared to diesel. Introduction: Biodiesel: Biodiesel is a renewable, clean burning replacement for diesel that reduces dependence on crude oil supply across the world. It is created from a various mix of feedstocks such as: used cooking oil, vegetable oil, soybean oil and fats from animals. Biodiesel is the first and only EPA designated biofuel in commercial scale production. Biodiesel is long hydrocarbon…

. How Do Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine, the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine…

Scotlyn Eavenson Mrs. Blanchard English 12 March 31, 2015 Biodiesel vs. Diesel The world has seen fuel prices spiral up or down to meet supply and demand. Because of this, people need to choose a cost effective fuel to meet their needs. Vehicles in the world today run off of many different types of fuel. Biodiesel is a modern fuel compared to the commonly known diesel. Biodiesel has several advantages over diesel. Biodiesel fuel comes from a renewable resource, it is better on the environment…

Who would like to drive a car that gets mediocre gas mileage, a car that has lower torque, and a car that is all round mediocre? Now who would like to drive a car with improved gas mileage, superior torque, and a great, reliable engine? The obvious choice is the latter, a car with a diesel engine. Diesel and gasoline engines have been each other’s competition since the 1930’s when the first diesel run car was produced. There is one main mechanical difference between these two engines; a gasoline…

ABSTRACT Diesel engine exhaust gas emissions and particulate matters have been a serious environmental problem for a long time. Many research have been made in order to reduce these emissions since the usage of diesel engines came into large. Major emissions from the diesel exhaust are NOx, SOx, CO and Particulate Matters. Amongst these SOx, CO and Particulate matters can be reduced by using after treatment methods like Catalytic Reduction, etc. Unlike these NOx reduction is a challenging issue…
