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 ...

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 ...
