     Project Summary • A turbocharger, turbo, is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber. • It was invented Alferd Buchi in 1885. • A turbocharger, turbo, is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber. • Turbochargers are commonly used in passenger cars to obtain greater power output from a given engine size. The compact nature of a turbocharger means it is often a more space-efficient solution for increasing power output than increasing engine displacement. As an example, the turbo Porsche 944's acceleration…

    most common ways forced induction is achieved is with either a turbocharger or a supercharger system. Turbochargers have become the standard of forced induction in production cars. That is because turbochargers are more efficient, have a higher peak power band and produces less strain on your engine. Turbochargers are more efficient than superchargers because of the way it compresses air. Superchargers are a belt driven turbine so they use the engine’s crankshaft to compress the air. This…

    To identify the preferred rotation direction, a blower performance analysis is needed. A blower is usually an enclosed multiblade rotor that compresses air to a higher discharge pressure. Blower is also known as fan, but, traditionally, blowers do not discharge air at low pressure as some fans do. Figure 1.6 – CENTRIFUGAL BLOWER Dryers use centrifugal blower, where air is radially discharged from the impeller, (or fan wheel), so turns 90° from its inlet to its outlet (Figure 1.6). Air…

    The most important factor that caused the derailment of the train is, when Lac-Megantic was testing its mandatory hand brakes test, the hand brakes and air brakes were left together, so during the test, the freight train were held by the hand brakes and air brakes, which gave the impression that the train was held only by the hand brakes, so the engineer and the rail traffic controller thought that the train was secure. Before the accident, the locomotive was reviewed by MMA’s repair shop eight…
