Diesel Engines turn Thermal Energy
into Mechanical Energy
á
An engine is not a closed system, but
energy is mostly conserved 
á
Torque is produced by the rotation of
the crankshaft
á
Power is given by work divided by
time
p = W/t
á
The internal components of a diesel
engine must be stronger than a regular gasoline engine because
the forces that are produced are much higher
