The conventional powertrain has seen a continuous wave of energy optimization, focusing
heavily on boosting and engine downsizing. This trend is pushing OEMs to consider …

The aim of the present work is to show an approximation, through an experimental and a
theoretical study, to quantify the mechanical losses in a turbocharging system. These are …

The behavior of small turbochargers is deeply affected by heat transfer phenomena. The
external heat losses of these machines are studied and a simplified model that takes into …

The exhaust energy can represent up to 40% of the fuel chemical energy in turbocharged
internal combustion engines. In order to calculate properly the available energy of the …

Nowadays turbochargers play an important role in improving internal combustion engines
(ICE) performance. Usually, engine manufacturers use computer codes to predict the …

Nowadays turbocharging the internal combustion engine has become a key point in both the
reduction of pollutant emissions and the improvement of engine performance. The matching …

Turbine performance at extreme off-design conditions is growing in importance for properly
computing turbocharged reciprocating internal combustion engines behaviour during urban …

Heat transfer is significant in turbochargers and a number of mathematical models have
been proposed to account for the heat transfer, however these have predominantly been …

In the present paper, a methodology to calculate the heat fluxes inside a turbocharger from
diesel passenger car is presented. The heat transfer phenomenon is solved by using a one …

The miniaturisation of gas turbine engines poses significant challenges to the performance
in heat management due to the close proximity of the hot and cold components. This paper …
