The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI engine) is an internal combustion engine in whichignition of the fuel that has been injected ...
A thermodynamic cycle consists of a linked sequence of thermodynamic processes that involve transfer of heat and work into and out of the system, while varying pressure, temperatur...
The Diesel cycle is a combustion process of a reciprocating internal combustion engine. In it, fuel is ignited by heat generated during the compression of air in the combustio...
An adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred only as work.&n...
Martensite is formed in steels when the cooling rate from austenite is sufficiently fast. It is a very hard constituent, due to the carbon which is trapped in solid solution. Unlike decomposition to f...
Bainite is formed at cooling rates slower than that for martensite formation and faster than that for ferrite and pearlite formation. There are two forms of bainite, known as upper and lower bainite.U...
Pearlite is usually formed during the slow cooling of iron alloys, and can begin at a temperature of 1150°C to 723°C, depending on the composition of the alloy. It is usually a lamellar (alter...
