What are the reasons why supercharging increases engine power?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Explain the reason why supercharging increases the engine power.
Explanation of Solution
Supercharger:
Supercharger is referred to as an engine-driven air pump that provides a large quantity of air into the intake manifold, thereby boosting the engine power and torque. It provides an immediate boost to engine power with no delay. Since the supercharger is operated by the engine, it needs more horsepower, and therefore it is not more efficient when compared to turbocharger.
Supercharger has the ability to increase the air–fuel charge density. The increase in air–fuel charge density increases the engine power. Thus, supercharging increases the engine power.

Two toggles (ABC and DEF) transfer forces from the central hydraulic cylinder (H) to the plates that will be formed. The toggles then push bar G to the right, which then presses a plate (p) into the cavity, thus shaping it. In this case, the plate becomes a section of a sphere. If the hydraulic cylinder can produce a maximum force of F = 10 kN, then what is the maximum P value (i.e. Pmax) that can be applied to the plate when θ = 35°? Also, what are the compressive forces in the toggle rods in that situation? Finally, what happens to Pmax and the forces in the rods as θ decreases in magnitude?arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the minimum force P needed to prevent the 20 kg uniform rod AB from sliding.
