Another name of diesel engine is
A. High volume combustion engine
B. Low volume combustion engine
C. Constant volume combustion engine
D. No volume combustion engine
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A diesel engine operates on the principle of compression ignition, where fuel is injected into highly compressed air inside the cylinder.In a diesel engine, combustion occurs gradually during the early part of the expansion stroke, and the volume change during combustion is relatively small.
Because of this characteristic, a diesel engine is also referred to as a low volume combustion engine.
A constant volume combustion engine is associated with petrol engines operating on the Otto cycle, not diesel engines.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B – Low volume combustion engine.
