  2. Dieseling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

    The ignition source of a diesel engine is the heat generated by the compression of the air in the cylinder, rather than a spark as in gasoline engines. The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder (spark plug electrode ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

    Many high-performance aircraft however suffer extreme overheating problems when idling on the ground - a mere seven minutes for a Spitfire. [6] This is similar to Formula 1 cars of today, when stopped on the grid with engines running they require ducted air forced into their radiator pods to prevent overheating.

  9. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    The efficiency of the Diesel cycle is dependent on r and γ like the Otto cycle, and also by the cutoff ratio, r c, which is the ratio of the cylinder volume at the beginning and end of the combustion process: [4] = () The Diesel cycle is less efficient than the Otto cycle when using the same compression ratio.
