St:It is considered that a diesel engine is a prime mover actuated by gases.
1. Steam, gas and oil engines are known to have been used prior to the invention of the diesel engine. 2. The name "heat engines" is known to include many types of engines and turbines. 3. The engine is said to be a source of power. 4. The up-and-down movement of the piston is known to be a reciprocating motion. 5. Heat engines are supposed to lose much heat energy when they do mechanical work.
II. Reading
Exercise 1. Read and translate the text with a dictionary.
Engines
The heat engine is considered to be a machine that converts heat energy to mechanical energy. The engines of motorcars, motor-cycles, form tractors motor boots, etc are heat engines, which belong to the subgroup of internal combustion engines. Combustion engines may be divided into several types according to the number of piston strokes. Most of modern automatic engines operate on four-stroke cycle.
There are also engines which operate on two - stroke and six- stroke cycles.
A diesel engine is a machine which produces power by burning oil in a body of air which has been sugared to a high pressure by a moving piston. Diesel engines are know to be especially suitable where an independent source of power is required, as in ships, locomotives, mobile equipment of all sorts and isolated power plants.
Steam, gas and oil engines were known and used prior to the invention of the diesel engine. The steam engine converts the heat energy of steam to mechanical energy. A typical steam reciprocation engine consists of a cylinder fitted with a piston. A connecting rod and crankshaft change the piston to-and-fro motion into rotary motion. The steam pressure on the piston varies during the stroke and it is flywheel which maintains a constant output velocity.
