INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Fig. Internal Combustion Petrol Engine QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS Define supercharging in IC Engines. A supercharger is a compressor which compresses air 6 to 8 psi above atmospheric pressure. This gives more oxygen for better burning of fuel. Thus engine produces more power.  Supercharger gets power from the IC engine crankshaft through a…
