	Diesel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diesel or Diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of fuel oil (mostly petroleum) that is used as fuel in a diesel engine invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel.
		Diesel is generally simpler to refine than gasoline and often costs less (although price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true; for example, the cost of diesel traditionally rises during colder months as demand for heating oil, which is refined much the same way, rises).
		A Packard diesel motor designed by L.M. Woolson was fitted to a Stinson X7654, and in 1929 it was flown 1000 km non-stop from Detroit to Langley, Virginia (near Washington, D.C. In 1931, Walter Lees and Fredrick Brossy set the nonstop flight record flying a Bellanca powered by a Packard Diesel for 84h 32m.

		Rudolf Diesel (March 18, 1858 - September 30, 1913) was a German inventor, famous for the invention of the Diesel engine.
		Rudolf Diesel developed the idea of the compression ignition engine during the last decade of the 19th century, receiving a patent for the device on February 23, 1892 and building a functional prototype in early 1897 while working at the MAN plant at Augsburg.
		Diesel's family, however, believes that he was thrown off the ship, and his invention ideas were stolen.

	Rudolf Diesel Summary
		Diesel was convinced that an engine four times as efficient as a steam engine could be built by injecting fuel into an engine in which the piston compresses air in a ratio as great as 25 to 1.
		Diesel's engine proved to be very efficient, as his calculations showed it would be, but due to the restrictions he placed upon the manufacture of engines built under his patent, Diesel engines were very heavy and not suited to anything but stationary applications.
		Diesel was in Antwerp in autumn 1913, at September 29 he abroads the SS Dresden ferry to cross the English channel.

	Diesel engine - Wikipedia
		A vital component of any Diesel engine system is the Governor, which limits the speed of the engine by controlling the rate of fuel delivery.
		Diesel engines can work on thicker, heavier oil as long as it is heated to ease pumping and injection.
		The increased fuel economy of the Diesel over the Petrol engine means that mile-for-mile the diesel produces less C0 The possible development of [[[Bio-fuel]] alternatives to fossil fuels could lead to an effective zero emission of C0, as it is re-absorbed into plants that are then used to produce the fuel.

		Diesel fuel is used in a diesel engine invented by Rudolf Diesel, and perfected by Charles F. Kettering.
		Petroleum derived diesel is composed of about 75% saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including n, iso, and cycloparaffins), and 25% aromatic hydrocarbons (including napthalenes and alkylbenzenes).

		Technology to operate internal combustion engines (modified marine two stroke diesel engines) on this gas has improved however, so such engines are starting to appear in LNG carriers; with their greater thermal efficiency, less gas is burnt.
		The reciprocating marine diesel engine first came into use in 1903 when the diesel electric rivertanker Vandal was put in service by Branobel.
		Some warships and a few modern cruise ships have also use steam turbines to improve the efficiency of gas turbines in a combined cycle, where waste heat from a gas turbine is used to create steam for driving a steam turbine.

	Turbocharger - Free net encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Diesel engines are usually much kinder to turbos because their exhaust gas temperature is much lower than that of gasoline engines and because most operators allow the engine to idle and do not switch it off immediately after heavy use.
		Diesel engines require more robust construction because they already run at very high compression ratio and at high temperatures so they generally require little additional reinforcement to be able to cope with the addition of the turbocharger.
		Diesel engines have a narrower band of engine speeds at which they operate, thus making the operating characteristics of the turbocharger over that "rev range" less of a compromise than on a gasoline-powered engine.

		Dieseling is a condition which can occur in sparkplugged engines whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after shutting being officially shut off.
		The diesel cycle is the combustion process of a type of internal combustion engine in which the burning of the fuel is triggered not by a spark plug as in the Otto cycle, but rather by the heat generated in compressing the fuel-air mixture.
		Given that the Diesel is not as efficient, in theory, as an Otto cycle engine, and is also more complex due to the nature of the injectors, it may be surprising that it is used at all.
