Diesel Engine Combustion

The preferred drive engines for motor vehicles are based on combustion engines. They utilize the oxygen in the combustion air to convert the fuel-based chemical energy that predominantly consists of hydrocarbons into heat, which in turn is transferred to the engine’s working medium. The pressure in the working medium rises and, by exploiting the expansion, can be converted into piston motion and thus into mechanical work.
