Dieseltsükkel

The Diesel cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the combustion process in a diesel engine. It is an idealized cycle consisting of four processes: isochoric compression heating, isobaric combustion, isochoric expansion cooling, and isobaric compression. In a real diesel engine, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignites due to the high temperature of the compressed air, rather than relying on a spark plug like in a gasoline engine. This process leads to a more efficient combustion and is characterized by a higher compression ratio. The Diesel cycle is an important model for understanding the performance and efficiency of diesel engines, which are widely used in transportation and industrial applications.
