Diesel engine

This is a diesel engine diagram. The engine is internal combustion  engine designated to convert the chemical energy available in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft, and the up-and-down motion of the pistons, known as linear motion, creates the rotary motion needed to turn the wheels of a car forward. The exhaust camshaft and intake shaft move back and forth in a mechanical motion. The valves are connecting those two camshaft to the water coolant jacket. That is where the chemical flow produces energy to the piston. The piston rotates the crankshaft which is connected by the connecting rod. Than the wheels are turned.
