Methods of power boosting


Term supercharging refers to increasing the air (or mixture)
density by increasing its pressure prior to entering the
engine cylinder
Three basic methods of supercharging:
mechanical supercharging
turbocharging
pressure wave supercharging

We consider operating characteristics of turbines and


compressors

Compressor isentropic efficiency


Since kinetic energy of the gas leaving
the compressor is not usually
recovered, a more realistic definition of
efficiency is based on exit static
conditions

Turbine isentropic efficiency


Since kinetic energy at the exit of the

realistic definition of efficiency is based
on exit static conditions

With a turbocharger, turbine is mechanically linked to compressor.


Hence, at constant turbocharger speed

where m is the mechanical efficiency of turbocharger. It is usually
combined with the turbine efficiency

Dimensionless groups used to describe


turbocharger performance
& , isentropic
Most important dependent variables are mass flow rate m
efficiency , and temperature difference across the machine T0
Each of these are functions of independent variables

m&, , T0 f p0 ,in , p0 ,out , T0,in , N , D, R , ,


By dimensional analysis, these eight independent variables can be
reduced to four dimensionless groups

Dimensionless groups used to describe


turbocharger performance
Reynolds number has little effect on performance and is fixed by the
gas, therefore they can be omitted
For a particular device, dimensions are fixed and value of R is fixed. So, it
is convenient to plot
