About This Clues Answer

- noun
- • An internal-combustion engine that burns heavy oil
- • German engineer (born in france) who invented the diesel engine (1858-1913) verb
- • To ignite a substance by using the heat generated by compression
- • For a spark-ignition internal combustion engine to continue running after the electrical current to the spark plugs has been turned off. this occurs when there's enough heat in the combustion chamber to ignite the air and fuel mixture without a spark, the same way that heat and pressure cause ignition in a diesel engine.
An example sentence would be:
- • "He prefers to drive diesels instead of gasoline cars."
- • "The emissions from diesels are being closely regulated."
