The compression ration for diesel fuel is quite less as compared to petrol engine and gets burnt without spark merely by compression so are called compression engines.

In the compression ignition engine air fuel mixture burn due to high compression ratio, compressed air temperature higher than self ignition temperature of fuel.

Compressing in a closed cylinder air gots maximum temperature perhaps fuel is high pressurised injected in a closed cylinder that causes combustible take place.

The ignition of diesel is takes place due to high temperature. And pressure of compressed air hence it is also called as compression ignition engine.

In diesel engine air is first compressed to ignition temperature of the fuel to be injected and then fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.

In diesel engine due to compression of air only the pressure and temp of air increases and when fuel is sprayed instant ignition takes place.

Diesel engines are compression engines because the fuel will burnt due to the temperature rise in the fuel at the end of compression stroke.

Very high pressure is created in the clearance volume to burn fuel itself. Fuel is hard compressed, hence it is compression ignition system.

Yes of course the diesel engine are also know as the compression engine, and so only the compression ratio of the diesel engine are high.

Diesel has cetane number those fuels have cetane number,very high compressed need to burn the fuels so diesel engines are C.I engines.
