 Efficiency Comparison of Using Electric Mobile and Diesel Engine

I. Introduction
Electric mobiles and diesel engines are two of the most commonly used
technologies for powering vehicles. While both technologies have their own advantages
and disadvantages, the efficiency of using electric mobiles and diesel engines has
become a topic of great interest in recent years.

Electric mobiles are powered by electricity and have a battery that needs to be
charged. They are becoming increasingly popular due to their low operating costs, zero
emissions, and quiet operation. Additionally, electric mobiles are more energy-efficient
compared to diesel engines since they can convert up to 80% of the electrical energy
stored in their battery into motion.

On the other hand, diesel engines use diesel fuel to power an internal combustion
engine. While diesel engines have been the dominant technology for powering heavy-
duty vehicles, they are known for emitting harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides
(NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Diesel engines are also less energy-efficient
compared to electric mobiles, with only around 20-40% of the energy in the fuel being
converted into motion.

Overall, the efficiency of using electric mobiles and diesel engines depends on the
specific use case and operating conditions. In many cases, electric mobiles are more
energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, but diesel engines may still be preferred for
certain heavy-duty applications.

II. Hypothesis
Hypothesis: The efficiency of using electric mobile is significantly different from using
diesel engine.

Independent variable: Type of engine (Electric Mobile vs. Diesel Engine)

Dependent variable: Efficiency
