  • The Physics of Turbo Chargers

    1377 Words  | 3 Pages

    Do you want your car to pick up speed faster? How about adding a turbo booster on that engine under your automobiles hood. A turbo charger is a very efficient way to gain power. To fully understand the function of this component, lets look at the physics behind it. The Ideal Gas model has much to do in turbo chargers. I will explain the theory and components like the compressor, turbine, intercooler, wastegate, and the BOV. Matter is assumed to be composed of an enormous number of very tiny particles

    The Physics of Turbo Charging Turbo charging is one of the most efficient ways to make an engine preform better. They are very common on cars with smaller displacement engines and are even showing up on cars as a production item these days. As common as they are though, very few people truly know and why they work. They are fascinating even though they are fairly simple, or at least the principal behind them is simple. To under stand how and why a turbo charger works one must first understand

  • Whole Turbo vs. Supercharger

    Ok, we've seen it brought up a million and one times, so, I'm going to give my take on the whole turbo vs. supercharger arguement once and for all. Honestly, both devices ROCK. They essentially do the same thing (which is pressurize the intake) when it comes down to it. Argueing that one makes "more power" than the other is utterly redundant, as I re-iterate that they both essentially do the same thing. (Look up redundancy in the dictionary and it will say "See Redundant".) Anyways, I'm going to

    motors/chassis and slowing down speeds. Racing has always been about going faster than the next driver. It was about trying to beat course records and lap speeds. But if Tony George has his way, all course speeds will be reduced due to switching from turbo Indy V6 engines to normally aspirated V8's. The result is less horsepower, thus slower speeds. Records would never be broken, and the sport would lose some of its appeal. Racing has always been a strive to go faster; there is no real reason to change

Even though regularly occurring, there is always a big chance corrected and highlighted

  • Supercharger Essay

    pay and the power you get, turbos have always prevailed as the obvious choice. Turbos are superior because they: create more power; are more efficient; and in the long run cost less than a supercharger would that creates the same power as the turbo. So what are turbos and superchargers? Both are used to suck in more air than a naturally aspirated car, (one without modifications), to compress air and send it into the combustion chamber, which creates more power. Turbos do this by utilizing the exhaust

    injected and burned; causing gas compression (picture a shaken soda bottle). This compression forces the pistons up and down that move your car. With compression in the cylinder, the Turbo comes into play. If two balloons were filled with air, one half and the other full, which would go faster? This is the job of the Turbo. Burning requires air, and when you introduce more air a fire is larger and hotter. It forces compressed air into the engine, letting it burn more air each time the pistons pump increasing
