Unsteady Interaction Of Turbocharger Compressor With IC Engine

Growing global concern pertaining to climate change has meant \nthat engine development has become more focused on engine \nemissions. A method of reducing the emissions of an internal \ncombustion (IC) engine is to use smaller engines but recover \npower lost due to reduction in size by using a turbocharger or \nsupercharger. \nTo ensure that a turbocharger is appropriate for a given engine it \nhas to be matched correctly. This process is called turbocharger \nmatching. Turbocharger matching ensures that the compressor is \nproviding sufficient air to the engine over a wide range of operating \nconditions. \nCurrently compressors are mapped by carrying out controlled \nexperiments which put limits on its applicability to real world \nsituations.
