    History of Diesel
     Diesel Engine was invented by Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel, a German
    Engineer. Diesel was born on 18 March 1858 in Paris. He Studied Engineering
    and became a student of Carl Von Linde, the inventor of refrigerator while he was
    studying in technical university in Munich.

       

     Nikolaus Olto had developed the Spark ignited I.C. engine but it
    was less efficient and most unsuited for heavy duty.

     Diesel showed his interest in thermo dynamics and inspired by his teacher Carl Linde he dreamed of
    inventing an engine which would have a much higher efficiency and use a
    cheaper fuel. He thought of compressing air enough to ignite a fuel sprayed in. It was successful and
    gradually developed the concept of the diesel engine. In the beginning he tried ammonia gas as a fuel
    but the ammonia cylinder exploded. He encountered the problem of injection fuel at very high
    pressures in to the compressed air in the cylinder. He tried using pulverized coal but its ash content
    troubled the cylinder. He tried liquid petroleum which is a fraction derived from raw petroleum, itself
    ignites easily in compressed air.
     In 1897 the first commercial model comes in market.
     There are 4 stroke and 2 stroke diesel engines. In a 2 stroke engine cycle of operations is
    completed in 2 strokes of the piston corresponding to the one revolution of the crankshaft.

     Where in the 4 stroke, the piston moves down on the first stroke, the inlet valve opens and air
    from the atmosphere is drawn in to the cylinder. During the second stroke or the upward movement
    of the piston, both the inlet and the exhaust valves close and air get highly compressed. At the end of
    second stroke diesel oil is sprayed at a very high pressure into the high compressed air. The fuel gets
    self ignites due to the high temperature of the air. The heat released by the combustion raises the
    pressure and temperature of the gas in the cylinder which pushes the piston down forcefully, forming
    the power stroke. During the exhaust stroke or fourth stroke the exhaust valve opens and the products
    of combustion are pushed out.

     This cycle goes on repeating and the engine moves. The reciprocating motion of the piston is
    converted in to rotary motion by the connecting rod and crankshaft.
     Dr.Rudolf Diesel spent his last days in poverty. Diesel engines are far less polluting than the
    petrol engines since they use more air than in necessary for combustion.
     Dr.Rudolf Diesel died on 29 September 1913.
