Diesel engine
Diesel engine Die"sel en`gine or motor mo`tor [After Dr.
Rudolf Diesel, of Munich, the inventor.]
A type of internal-combustion engine in which the air drawn
in by the suction stroke is so highly compressed that the
heat generated ignites the fuel (usually crude oil), the fuel
being automatically sprayed into the cylinder under pressure.
The Diesel engine has a very high thermal efficiency.
Semi-Diesel
Semi-Diesel Sem`i-Die"sel, a.
Designating an internal-combustion engine of a type
resembling the Diesel engine in using as fuel heavy oil which
is injected in a spray just before the end of the compression
stroke and is fired without electrical ignition. The fuel is
sprayed into an iron box (called a hot bulb or hot pot)
opening into the combustion chamber, and heated for ignition
by a blast-lamp until the engine is running, when it is,
ordinarily, kept red hot by the heat of combustion.
