Technician a says that a diesel engine’s higher compression ratio it to produce more power and use less fuel. technician b says that higher compression ratios only the diesel engine produce more torque. who is correct?

None of them is 100% correct.

Technician A is correct when he says that the higher compression rate helps the car to use less fuel. A higher compression ratio gives the engine a higher thermal efficiency which in turn translates to higher fuel efficiency but it does not produce more power than a gasoline engine.

Technician B is correct when he says the diesel engine produces more torque, but he also says that it is the only thing that is better with the diesel engine which is wrong because we already know that it also helps on fuel efficiency.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
