Combustion in Compression Ignition Engines | Thermodynamics

Compression Ignition is generally known as Diesel Engine—named after its inventor Dr. Rudolf Diesel who invented it in 1899. The CI engines have high thermal efficiency and use relatively cheaper diesel fuel compared to gasoline. CI engines are extensively used for power generation, in commercial transportation, buses, marine en­gines, locomotives, tractors, pumping sets, stationary industrial application and machine applications.
