Charging the Internal Combustion Engine / by Hermann Hiereth, Peter Prenninger.

Springer eBooks

and short history of supercharging -- Basic principles and objectives of supercharging -- Thermodynamics of supercharging -- Mechanical supercharging -- Exhaust gas turbocharging -- Special processes with use of exhaust gas turbocharging -- Performance characteristics of supercharged engines -- Operating behavior of supercharged engines in automotive applications -- Charger control intervention and control philosophies for fixed-geometry and VTG chargers -- Instrumentation for recording the operating data of supercharged engines on the engine test bench -- Mechanics of superchargers -- Charge air coolers and charge air cooling systems -- Outlook and further developments in supercharging -- Examples of supercharged production engines.

The book focuses on all aspects of supercharging internal combustion engines. Charging systems and components, the theoretical basic relations between engines and charging systems as well as layout and evaluation criteria for best interaction are addressed in detail. Recent experiences in design and development of supercharging systems, improved graphical presentations and most advanced calculation and simulation tools are described. The book is prepared for students enrolled in mechanical engineering courses on the one hand, and for research-, development- and application-engineers, specialised in the field of supercharging systems for combustion engines, on the other leading to improved knowledge about benefits and problems of supercharging and providing help and tips for application engineers to design, optimise and develop supercharged internal combustion engines. A large number of selected examples as well as an outlook on possible future developments of supercharging systems finally close the book.
