Hehehe.. Big men ride big cars i hope to be someday so i can manage my Mercedes well enough.
So turbo it is for you.. You don't like anything holding your engine. Lol
Great choice as an engineer but the environment people would not like your choice. But we are human.
We need less drag on the engine. Engineers crave for efficiency and that's the main reason you won't find most new cars with a mechanical power steering pump anymore.
The exhaust carries about 1/3 of the heat generated during combustion away. With the supercharger, nothing is done about it. Instead, it adds more to the engine load. The turbocharger on the other hand uses this waste heat thus giving us more efficiency.
Then what has the environment people got to do with this. Are you saying superchargers cause less emission than turbochargers?
I understand your point as an engineer.
Both chargers do the dame thing but before the turbochargers kicks in there needs to be a period of time(short) where the fuel burns with an air fuel mixture that is the normal one. This short period the amount of flue gases will have escaped from the cylinder would have polluted the atmosphere... But with the supercharger even as your engine is rolling for ignition, the supercharger has started work by supplying to the cylinder.
There is no proof but i hope you understand my analysis?
Well, your analysis is logical enough. However, engines are equipped with after-treatment devices that allow harmful emissions to be converted into those not harmful before getting into the atmosphere. Besides that, we need to maintain a constant air-fuel ratio, so when supercharger kicks in immediately it majorly allows more fuel to be induced since there's more air to cater for them. This also increases the chances of having some unburnt fuel or incomplete combustion but that is secondary.
Yeah.. You get my logic.
