Charging the Internal Combustion Engine P2

Basic principles and objectives of supercharging Since the radial compressor will be discussed in detail in Chap. 5 in connection with exhaust gas turbocharging and as part of the exhaust gas turbocharger, at this point its function will only be addressed as the basis for its map characteristics. All flow compressors are based on the physical principle of the transformation of kinetic energy, which is supplied to the medium in the impeller, into a pressure rise via flow deceleration, partially in the impeller, partially in a diffuser. The complete process between compressor inlet and outlet can be clearly described using the...
