What is Turbocharger?
A turbocharger, or turbo (colloquialism),
from Greek "Ï„ÏÏβη" ("wake"),(also from Latin "turbo" ("spinning top"),
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. This improvement over a naturally aspirated
engine's output results because the turbine can force more air, and
proportionately more fuel, into the combustion chamber than atmospheric
pressure alone.
Turbochargers are commonly used on truck,
car, train, aircraft, and construction equipment engines. They are most
often used with Otto cycle and Diesel cycle internal combustion engines.
They have also been found useful in automotive fuel cells.
How it works?
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(which creates a low-pressure area),
similar to drawing liquid using a syringe. The amount of air actually
inspirated, compared to the theoretical amount if the engine could
maintain atmospheric pressure, is called volumetric efficiency.The
objective of a turbocharger is to improve an engine's volumetric
efficiency by increasing density of the intake gas (usually air)
allowing more power per engine cycle.

Turbochargers were originally known as
turbosuperchargers when all forced induction devices were classified as
superchargers. Nowadays the term "supercharger" is usually applied only
to mechanically driven forced induction devices. The key difference
between a turbocharger and a conventional supercharger is that a
supercharger is mechanically driven by the engine, often through a belt
connected to the crankshaft, whereas a turbocharger is powered by a
turbine driven by the engine's exhaust gas. Compared to a mechanically
driven supercharger, turbochargers tend to be more efficient, but less
responsive. Twincharger refers to an engine with both a supercharger and
a turbocharger.
The turbocharger's
compressor draws in ambient air and compresses it before it enters into
the intake manifold at increased pressure. This results in a 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 the engine's exhaust gases.
A turbocharger may also
be used to increase fuel efficiency without increasing power. This is
achieved by recovering waste energy in the exhaust and feeding it back
into the engine intake. By using this otherwise wasted energy to
increase the mass of air, it becomes easier to ensure that all fuel is
burned before being vented at the start of the exhaust stage. The
increased temperature from the higher pressure gives a higher Carnot
efficiency.
The control of turbochargers is very
complex[further explanation needed] and has changed dramatically over
the 100-plus years of its use. Modern turbochargers can use wastegates,
blow-off valves and variable geometry, as discussed in later sections.
The reduced density of intake air is often compounded by the loss of
atmospheric density seen with elevated altitudes. Thus, a natural use of
the turbocharger is with aircraft engines. As an aircraft climbs to
higher altitudes, the pressure of the surrounding air quickly falls off.
At 5,486 metres (17,999 ft), the air is at half the pressure of sea
level, which means that the engine produces less than half-power at this
altitude.
