Following are the objectives of supercharging

1 Answer

Answer :

Following are the objectives of supercharging

1. To compensate for loss of power due to high altitudes for air craft engines

2. To obtain better performance from the existing engine

3. For a given weight and bulk of the engine, super charging increase power output. This is important in air craft, marine and automotive engines where weight and space are considered

4. Super charging is done to induct more amount of air into cylinder per unit times and hence to burn more amount of fuel to increase power output

Description : What is the difference between scavenging and supercharging ?

Last Answer : Scavenging is process of flushing out burnt gases from engine cylinder by introducing fresh air in the cylinder before exhaust stroke ends. Supercharging is the process of supplying higher mass of air by compressing the atmospheric air.
