Question

How does the modern Diesel engine achieve higher power output without the use of higher compression ratio?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the efficiency of diesel engine given as follows

`\eta=1-(\rho^(\gamma)-1)/(r^(\gamma-1)\gamma(\rho-1))`

Where r is the compression ratio ,ρ is the cut off ratio and γ is the heat capacity ratio .

Here given that we want to increase the efficiency with out changing the compression ratio.

So from the efficiency formula we can say that when cut off ratio is decreases then the efficiency of diesel cycle will increases.When efficiency is high it means that the power output of engine is high.

The second method to increase the efficiency of diesel engine is that ,use the anti knocking diesel.Use premium diesel instead of use the normal diesel fuel.
