Diesel engines work by compressing only the air which increases the temperature enough that the fuel ignites spontaneously.
So how are they different from regular engines that dont use diesel? | Internal combustion engine
An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, rotor or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance | plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
Diesel engines work by compressing only the air. This increases the air temperature inside the cylinder to such a high degree that atomised diesel fuel injected into the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously. With the fuel being injected into the air just before combustion, the dispersion of the fuel is uneven; this is called a heterogeneous air-fuel mixture.

Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.

Have you ever met an entomologist before. I am one of those that is involved in the scientific study of insects
No , I have never met an entomologist, must be an interesting job, Do you like insects?
Of course. Those are the organisms i study; any form of scientific study in which there is a focus on insect
So, you are an entomologist! Do you study them alive or do you collect dead ones too?
Well t depends on what we are to study. There are various topics in question be it molecular genetics, behavior, biomechanics, biochemistry, systematics, physiology, developmental biology, ecology, morphology, and paleontology.
Interesting, and what is your favorite insect? I like ants and grasshoppers.
It is against my work ethics to chose an insects as a favorite as we study them all. But Grasshoppers are cool insects though. They are likely the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects
Good to know. So, I guess it would be against your principles to hate any of them, LOL. I hate cockroaches and they must be very all too. | Cockroach
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattodea, which also includes termites. About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. About four species are well known as pests.
The cockroaches are an ancient group, dating back at least as far as the Carboniferous period, some 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors however lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects without special adaptations like the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other true bugs; they have chewing mouthparts and are likely | organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts.
