In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases. It uses this energy to compress the intake air, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement .
Automation (known as Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game in cover and online sources) is a simulation video game developed by New Zealand-based developer Camshaft Software for Microsoft Windows that allows the player to create and run a virtual car company and design vehicles to sell. [1] It is currently available via Steam. [2]
Diesel engines are typically well suited to turbocharging due to two factors: A "lean" air–fuel ratio, caused when the turbocharger supplies excess air into the engine, is not a problem for diesel engines, because the torque control is dependent on the mass of fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber (i.e. air-fuel ratio), rather than the quantity of the air-fuel mixture.
1962: The first turbocharged production car engine was the Oldsmobile Turbo Jetfire used in the Oldsmobile Jetfire. [1] A Garrett AiResearch turbocharger with integral wastegate was used. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Power was significantly increased over the naturally aspirated engine, but reliability was poor and the production of this engine ceased in ...
Researchers found that people worldwide live 9.6 years longer than they are healthy — and in the U.S. the gap is more than 12 years.
Experian shares seven actionable tips to avoid scams and protect personal information this holiday season.
"These trailblazing women have shattered barriers, challenged societal norms, and driven progress that has transformed California and the world," Siebel Newsom said in a statement.
An electrically assisted turbocharger (EAT) is an arrangement where an electric motor assists the gas-driven turbocharger in providing forced induction, particular at times when exhaust gas flow is insufficient to produce the desired boost. [1] Some systems integrate the motor inside a turbocharger, while others use a separate electric ...
