Why is Diesel More Powerful Than Gasoline?

[VonNathan]

Diesel engines are more powerful than gasoline engines due to different ignition methods: In diesel engines, diesel fuel is ignited by the high temperature generated through rapid compression, whereas gasoline engines rely on spark ignition to create pressure. That is, one is ignited by pressure, and the other by a spark plug, hence diesel engines have greater explosive force. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: Diesel Engine: A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses diesel as fuel. Diesel engines belong to the compression-ignition type of engines and are often referred to as Diesel engines after their main inventor, Rudolf Diesel. During operation, the diesel engine draws air into its cylinders, which is highly compressed by the movement of the pistons, reaching temperatures of 500-700°C. Then, fuel is injected in a mist form into the high-temperature air, mixing with it to form a combustible mixture that ignites and burns automatically.
