The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the
heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This
contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel
as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture.
The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency of any standard internal or external combustion engine due to
its very high compression ratio. Low-speed diesel engines (as used in ships and other applications where overall
engine weight is relatively unimportant) can have a thermal efficiency that exceeds 50%.
Diesel engines are manufactured in two-stroke and four-stroke versions. They were originally used as a more
efficient replacement for stationary steam engines. Since the 1910s they have been used in submarines and ships.
Use in locomotives, trucks, heavy equipment and electric generating plants followed later. In the 1930s
