............ in the control valve. (12) ............ flows out through the other (13) ............, passes to one side of the
(14) ....... ..... and pushes it along the (15) ......... .... .... .

14. Drum brakes consist of two (1) ............, which are fixed to a (2) ............, which is fixed to an (3)
............ . (4) ............ are riveted to the outer faces of each shoe. When the brake pedal is operated, this
increases the hydraulic pressure in the (5) ............ to the hydraulic cylinder and forces the two (6) ............
into contact with a rotating (7) ............, which is fixed to the wheel hub by the wheel nuts. When the wheel
rotates freely, the brake drum rotates with it, but the brake shoes do not move. The inner surface of the
drum is ground smooth, so that the shoe linings can rub against it. This can cause overheating, which
reduces friction, and can cause the drum brakes to fade and lose braking efficiency. Drum brakes are fitted
to the rear wheels of many vehicles.
Disk brakes consist of an exposed (8) ............ , which is bolted to the wheel hub and which rotates
between two (9) ............ . When the brake pedal is operated, this increases the hydraulic pressure in the (10)
............ and forces the two (11) ............ into contact with the rotating brake (12) ............ . An (13) ............
ensures that the two (14) ............ force the friction pads onto the rotating disk at the same time. Friction
between the pads and the disks slows the rotation of the disk. The surface of the disk is exposed to the air,
which cools the disk while the car is moving. Disk brakes are fitted to the front wheels of most vehicles, as
most of the braking power is required there.

Diesel engines use fuel as diesel oil, without spark plugs, engine generated by compressing the mixture
of fuel and air in the cylinder.
Gasoline engines use gasoline as a fuel, which is produced by igniting the mixture of air fuel in the
cylinder by sparking spark plugs.

♦ Advantages:
- Diesel engine performance is higher than gasoline engine (1.5 times).
- Diesel is cheaper than gasoline.
- Specific fuel consumption of Diesel engines is lower than gasoline engines.
- Diesel does not ignite at room temperature, so it is less dangerous.
- Because there is no carburetor and ignition, the diesel engine is less likely to be damaged.
- Diesel engine is better overloaded than gasoline engine.

♦ Disadvantages:
- At the same capacity, a diesel engine has a heavier weight than a gasoline engine.
- Diesel engine compression ratio is higher, so it requires the engine parts of the engine to be good,
resulting in more expensive production.
- The details of the fuel system in Diesel engine are very high accuracy (error of 1 / 100mm) such as
high pressure pump, injector, so the cost of manufacture and repair is higher.
- Repairing parts of the diesel engine fuel system must have specialized machines, expensive tools and
highly qualified workers.
- Diesel engine speed is lower than gasoline engine speed.
- Diesel engines are noisier and "smelly" than gasoline engines. (This has been overcome by many
advanced technologies.)
=> Diesel engines and petrol engines have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, the
manufacturer has applied these two types of engines to the vehicle to suit the purpose of each separate
vehicle. To feel and love a smooth smooth car like a gasoline engine or as powerful and economical as a
Diesel engine depends on the preferences and needs of each person. Through this article, hope everyone will
have more knowledge about these two types of engines and easier to choose for the purpose of their vehicles.

The end
