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 wheel. The compres
Types of Engines This article is dedicated to the study of different types of engines, as you know the engine is the power-producing device that generated power is utilized in many different ways according to the application of a particular machine. Engines are energy conversing device. Engines are used to convert chemical energy of fuel into thermal energy and uses that generated energy to produce mechanical work. Mainly there are two types of engines: 1. External Combustion Engines 2. Internal Combustion Engines Now, we discuss the first External Combustion Engines. 1. External Combustion Engines Simply, External Combustion Engines are the engines in which the combustion process takes place outside the cylinder body of the engine. In external combustion engines, the products of combustion of air and fuel transfers the heat to a second fluid which is the working fluid of the cycle on which engine works. Examples of External Combustion Engines: In a steam engine or
