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 ...

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 ...

A Turbocharger for the 1990s

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1991
The large-bore engines of the 1970s and 1980s have seen tremendous amounts of technological improvements. The key buzzwords were: “Lower the emissions, and improve the fuel consumption.” As we move into the 1990s, we see dramatic improvements in specific outputs along with continued research to further improve emissions and fuel consumption. One of the

A Turbocharged Turbogenerator

Volume 5: Manufacturing Materials and Metallurgy; Marine; Microturbines and Small Turbomachinery; Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles, 2012
Turbocharging generally implies the attainment of higher power through increased piston engine air inlet charge density. Turbocharging has too been visualized for gas turbines in the form of an exterior or integrated low pressure compressor and turbine spool module boosting a high pressure power producing spool. This “turbocharged” cycle

Vibrations of Turbochargers

2012
Exhaust gas turbochargers used in the automobiles, such as passenger, on-road vehicles, and off-road engines have some discrepancies to the heavy turbomachines applied to the power plants and chemical industries. The first ones are much smaller and work at high rotor speeds in various operating conditions, such as variable rotor speeds, pressures ...

Turbocharger Controls

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1962
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Many and various advantages can be realized from the installation of a turbocharger control system in diesel, gasoline, and natural gas engines. Several types of control and their effects on turbocharger and engine performance are discussed in detail.
