WHAT IS A TURBOCHARGER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?What is supercharger/ how supercharger work/ types of superchargers.

 WHAT IS A TURBOCHARGER AND HOW DOES IT WORK? A turbocharger is a device fitted to a vehicle’s engine that is designed to improve the overall efficiency and increase performance. This is the reason why many auto manufacturers are choosing to turbocharge their vehicles. The new Chevrolet Trax and Equinox are both offered with turbocharged engines and as time goes on, more and more vehicles will be fitted with them. How does it work ?A turbo...

What is Cylinder liner/ materials for cylinder liners/types of liners/Comparison the LinersWhat is piston/how piston work/piston's functions.

  CYLINDER LINER         The cylinder liner is a sleeve in which the piston of an engine reciprocates. The life of a cylinder between its re-bores depends two main factors:  (i) Abrasion, and (ii) Corrosion         Abrasion depends on the atmospheric con- dition and the efficiency of the air filter and oil filter. Dusty atmospheric air is more harm- ful as it increases abrasion...

Components of an Engine/Terms connected with i.c. engines/Definition of ‘Engine’/Engine Components.

Components of an Engine:         Even though reciprocating internal combustion engines look quite simple, they are highly complex machines. There are hundreds of components that have to perform their functions satisfactorily to produce output power. There are two types of engines, viz., spark ignition (S1) and compression- ignition (CI) engine. Let us now go through the important engine components and the nomenclature...
