A turbocharger increases an engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber using a turbine powered by exhaust gases. It consists of a turbine, compressor, and center housing. The turbine converts exhaust energy into rotational energy, powering the compressor to increase air density and allow more air into each cylinder. This provides more power but can cause lag until boost is generated. Turbochargers are commonly used on vehicles and construction equipment to improve performance or fuel efficiency without increasing engine size.

3. A turbocharger 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 were originally known as turbochargers
when all forced induction devices were classified as
superchargers.
Turbocharger are commonly used on
truck, car, train, aircraft, and construction
equipment engines.
A turbocharger may also used
to increase fuel efficiency without
increasing power.
Turbocharger most often used
with Otto cycle and Diesel cycle
internal combustion engines.

6. In normally aspirated piston engines, intake gases are pushed
into the engine by atmospheric pressure filling the volumetric void
caused by the downward stroke of the piston.
The objective is to improve an engine’s volumetric efficiency by
increasing density of the intake gas allowing more power per
engine cycle.
The turbocharger’s compressor draws in ambient air and
compresses it before it enters into the intake manifold at increased
pressure, cause greater mass of air entering the cylinders on each
intake stroke.
The power needed to spin the centrifugal compressor is derived
from the kinetic energy of exhaust gases.
The reduced density of intake air is often compounded by the
loss of atmospheric density seen with elevated altitudes.
10. Turbocharger lag (Turbo lag) is the time required to change
power output response when change noticed as a hesitation
or slowed throttle response when accelerating as compared to
a naturally aspirated engine.
This is due to the time needed for the exhaust system and
turbocharger to generate the required boost. Inertia, Friction,
and Compressor load are the primary contributions to
turbocharger lag.
Supercharger do not suffer this problem , because the
turbine is eliminated due to the compressor being directly
powered by the engine .

III. The Centre Housing/Hut Rotating Assembly
Turbine:-
The turbine work is converted from the enthalpy and kinetic
energy of the gas, in which the turbine housing direct the
flow through the turbine as it spins at up to 250,000 rpm.
Twin Turbo: Twin-Turbo have two separate turbochargers
operating either in a sequence or in parallel.
Twin Scroll: Twin-Scroll turbochargers have two exhaust
gas inlets and two nozzles, one (smaller shaper angle) for
quick response and one(larger less angled) for peak
performance.
12. Compressor:-
The compressor increases the mass of intake air entering the
combustion chamber. It consists an impeller, a diffuser and a
volute housing.
Ported Shroud: The flow range of a turbo supercharger
compressor can be increased by allowing air to bleed from a ring
of holes or a circular groove around the compressor at a point
slightly downstream of the compressor inlet (but far nearer to the
inlet than to the outlet).
Centre Housing :-
The centre hub rotating (CHRA) houses the shaft that connects
the compressor impeller and turbine. It must contain a bearing
system to suspended the shaft, allowing it to rotate at very high
speed with minimum friction.
