🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between spark-ignition (gasoline) and compression-ignition (diesel) engines • Role of compression ratio in causing temperature rise and potential pre‑ignition/knock • How the fuel is ignited in gasoline vs diesel engines

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a gasoline engine, what actually starts the combustion process, and do we rely on high compression heat for ignition? • Consider what happens if you raise the compression ratio too high in a gasoline engine that uses a spark plug—what type of abnormal combustion can occur? • In a diesel engine, why is a very high compression ratio essential, and how is this different from the requirement in a gasoline engine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether compression heat is or is not supposed to ignite the fuel in a gasoline engine. • Think about which option confuses cause and effect (for example, does low compression make spark ignition ‘effective,’ or is compression limited for another reason?). • Eliminate any answers that sound like they are describing how a diesel engine works rather than why a gasoline engine’s compression ratio must be lower.

The heat of compression is not used as an ignition source of the fuel.

Compression must be low for effective spark ignition.

Compression must be low for smooth operation.
