Question

Any of u know the combustion equation for Diesel. thank you?

Answer 1

You realize that Diesel fuel is not a single compound, but rather a mixture of hydrocarbons.  The "average" is C12H23.  Diesel goes from C10H20 to C15H28.

The chemical equation for the complete combustion of Diesel fuel would then be:

4C12H23 + 71O2 -->  48CO2 + 46H2O

Of course, in the real world we don't get the complete combustion of Diesel fuel, so that what comes out the exhaust is a widely varying mixture of substances from elemental carbon to potentially unburned fuel.
