Hi Mr. Tarver,

So then a diesel engine is like a turbojet?


In that the fuel immediately burnes when it is injected, yes. Of
course, the diesel is still a reciprocating engine while a turbojet is
operating continuously. Therefore diesels have much more in common with
spark ignition engines than with turbines.

Are the two stroke diesels the
same as the 4 stroke version in this?


Yes.

regards,
Friedrich
