Compare the SI and CI engine on the basis of: (i) Compression Ratio (ii) Operating Speed (iii) Power O/P per weight.
Parameter

SI Engine
|
CI Engine
|
(i) Compression Ratio
|
Compression ratio is low, about 10:1 limited by detonation
|
Compression ratio is higher, about 18:1 to 22:1
|
(ii) Operating Speed
|
To avoid Detonation in SI Engine operating speed is High
|
To avoid Diesel knock operating speed is Low
|
(iii) Power O/P per weight.
|
Power output is Less than CI engine due to lower compression ratio.
|
Power output is more than SI engine due to higher compression ratio.
