Introduction In the world of internal combustion engines, turbochargers have become a popular method of increasing power and efficiency. This gas compressor, often referred to simply as a turbo, is a form of forced induction that forces air into the engine, resulting in more power for a given displacement. In this blog, we will explore the inner workings of turbochargers and their impact on engine performance. The Components of a Turbocharger At its most basic level, a turbocharger consists of three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft connecting the turbine and compressor wheels. The turbine is located on the hot side of the turbocharger and is bolted onto the engine's exhaust manifold. As the engine runs, the exhaust gases pass through the turbine, spinning a fan called the turbine wheel. This spinning motion converts heat and pressure into rotational force, which in turn spins the compressor whee...
Classification of Automobile There are several types of automobile which are based on several criteria. A brief classification of Automobile as follows: A) Based on Purpose: 1. Passenger Vehicles – These vehicles carry passengers. For example, Buses, Passenger Trains , Cars. 2. Goods or Cargo Vehicles – These vehicles carry different goods for transportation from one place to another place. For example, Goods lorry, Goods carrier. B) Based on Fuel Source: 1. Petrol Engine Vehicles – Vehicles which are powered by petrol engines. For example, Scooters, Motorcycles, Cars. 2. Diesel Engine Vehicles – Vehicles powered by diesel engines. For example, Trucks, Buses. 3. Gas Vehicles – Vehicles used the gas turbine as a power source. For example, Turbine powered cars . 4. Hybrid Vehicles – Vehicles that are used two or more dis...
