CHAPTER 1

PRELIMINARY

1.1 Background
The diesel engine was first invented by Rudolf Diesel pafa in 1892 and was granted a
patent in 1893. Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses heat
compression to create a lightning, a diesel engine commonly called compression
ignition engine. Diesel engines are the ones with the best thermal efficiency compared
to other internal combustion engines. This machine was originally used as a substitute
for steam engines, since 1910 this machine is already used in ships and submarines.
The use of diesel engines is increasing with the times.
The use or application of diesel motor as a driving force is very rapidly growing and
will continue to grow. Diesel motor widely used for transportation purposes such as
trucks, buses, boats, etc. For agricultural purposes, diesel motors are used on tractors
to cultivate agricultural land. In construction and mining construction industries,
diesel motors are used as propulsion for ground and ground shovels, bulldozers etc ..
Diesel motors are stronger and have longer endurance. Diesel motor has a greater
power so that diesel motors can be a driving force. Diesel engines result in less air
pollution because diesel motors are fuel lean which results in more complete
combustion.
In this lab, we will observe the characteristics of diesel engines. To know the
characteristics that occur, we rotate the motor with various speeds with varying
loading. It is therefore desirable that the test results with data reflecting the true
value will be obtained through this experiment.
