type: DEGREE
Source sentences:
text: Since the diesel engine has a high compression ratio, the energy required to revolve the engine itself, or what is known as friction loss, is greater than that of the gasoline engine.
text: Diesel engines on the other hand have a higher compression ratio and therefore generate enough heat, so as not to need spark plugs to ignite the air and fuel mixture present in the engine.
text: Because diesel engines have much higher compression ratios, a diesel engine doesn’t utilize spark plugs.
text: As I’m sure you remember from chemistry class, as gases are compressed, their temperature will increase, and diesel engines have such a high compression ratio that the heat produced by the compression is enough to ignite the fuel/air mixture.
