• Centrifugal supercharger.
• A centrifugal supercharger is
similar to a turbocharger but is
mechanically driven by the engine
instead of being powered by the
hot exhaust gases.
• Roots-type supercharger.
• The roots-type supercharger is A roots-type supercharger uses two
called a positive displacement lobes to force the air around the outside
design because all of the air that of the housing into the intake manifold.
enters is forced through the unit.

3.4 Performance of superchargers
• Many factory-installed
superchargers are
equipped with a bypass
valve that allows
intake air to flow
directly into the intake
manifold bypassing the
supercharger.
• The computer controls
the bypass valve
actuator.

3.5 Working principle of a turbocharger
• A turbocharger is a small radial fan pump driven by the energy of the
exhaust gases of an engine.
• A turbocharger consists of a turbine and a compressor on a shared
shaft.
• The turbine converts exhaust to rotational force, which is in turn used
to drive the compressor.
• The compressor draws in ambient air and pumps it in to the intake
manifold at increased pressure, resulting in a greater mass of air
entering the cylinders on each intake stroke.

3.10 Specific Fuel Consumption
Fuel consumption of an engine reported in L/h or kg/h
because these values ignore engine power. A better
measure of fuel consumption is,
