Introduction to Turbocharging and Turbochargers

1982
Supercharging can be defined as the introduction of air (or air/fuel mixture) into an engine cylinder at a density greater than ambient. This allows a proportional increase in the fuel that can be burned and hence raises the potential power output. The principal objective is to increase power output, not to improve efficiency, although the efficiency ...

Turbocharging the Brain

Scientific American, 2009
The article examines the long-term effect of pills taken improve an individual's memory on their health. College students and executives are two groups known to ingest stimulant drugs to enhance their mental performance. Topics include a discussion regarding the moral and ethical issues surrounding cognitive enhancers, such as those prescribed for ...

Equivalent turbocharger model of regulated two-stage turbocharging system

Journal of the Energy Institute, 2010
Abstract A theoretical study on the regulated two-stage turbocharging (R2S) system is conducted based on the equivalent turbocharger concept. Expressions for the equivalent turbine flow area and the equivalent turbocharger efficiency of the R2S system were derived.

Acoustics of Turbochargers

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2007
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Noise from turbo-chargers is increasingly becoming an issue. Partly due to improved noise control of other components and partly due to increased specific mass flows. Despite that the turbocharging technique was developed in the first part of the last century the acoustical behavior is still a field where there is ...

Turbocharger Applications

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1986
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Turbocharging has become a recognized means of increasing the power output of gasoline and diesel passenger car and commercial engines. The application of turbochargers involves the consideration of many factors in the engine and vehicle systems.

Turbocharger aerodynamic design

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 1999
The aerodynamic design of turbochargers is described, covering radial compressors and turbines and also axial turbines. The paper concentrates upon those aspects that are peculiar to turbocharger design, including the approach adopted, and highlights the importance of company-specific empirical data.

High-output Turbocharging

1982
The demand for higher and higher power outputs from a specified size of diesel engine continues. Higher outputs may be achieved by increasing speed and/or BMEP. In the last 25 years there has been a steady increase in rated mean effective pressure (figure 1.5) but only a relatively small speed increase.
