The Diesel engine is similar in operation to the gasoline engine. In later years Diesel realized his original cycle would not work and he adopted the constant pressure cycle, which is known as the Diesel cycle.ĭiesel cycle is one of most common thermodynamic cycles that can be found in automobile engines and describes the functioning of a typical compression ignition piston engine. The original cycle proposed by Rudolf Diesel was a constant temperature cycle. In the 1890s, a German inventor, Rudolf Diesel has patented his invention of an efficient, slow burning, compression ignition, internal combustion engine.
