In a diesel engine the fuel is ignited when it is injected into hot compressed air, heated by the compression itself. In a typical high-speed diesel engine, the chamber in the cylinder has a diameter of 10.7 cm and a length of 13.4 cm. On compression, the length of the chamber is shortened by 12.7 cm (a "5-inch stroke"). The compression of the air changes its pressure from 1.00 to 39.5 atm. The temperature of the air before compression is 391 K.
