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.

Diesel engine uses the heat of compressed air to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. So the ignition takes place due to the compression process of air.

In diesel engines air is get compressed in the engine before fuel injection occurrence in power stroke. So that it is CI engine.

Because there is no spark avaliable in disel engine.

Because air is compressed in diesel engine.

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

In diesel engines we did not use spark, the air is compressed with high C.R AROUND 16-20, it is higher than s.i engines.

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 diesel engine, the charge air is compressed till it reaches to the self burning temp. Of the diesel fuel after this the fuel is introduce in the cylinder through nozzles.
