It is also known as a turbo which was invented in the early twentieth century by an engineer in Swiss land, Alfred Buchi. He introduced a prototype to increase the power of diesel engines. Today, turbocharging…
Understanding Engine Oil Pump
by
in AutomobileSurprisingly, the circulation of oil in an internal combustion engine is achieved by the oil pump. The oil pump is a part of an engine lubrication system that pumps oil under pressure. It pumps oil from the sump through the galleries to the rotating bearing, the sliding pistons, and the camshaft of the engine. The…
Major parts of pistons and their functions
by
in AutomobilePiston parts work together for the transformation of heat energy into mechanical work and vice versa. It moves upward and downward inside the cylinder in order to expand and contracts the air-fuel mixture. For this reason, a piston is inevitable in an internal combustion engine. Today we’ll be going deep into the major components of…

Everything you need to know about transmission system
by
in AutomobileA transmission system is referred more specifically to the gearbox, in fact, the 5-speed transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains. They are used to provide speed and torque conversion from the rotating power source to another device. The Transmission system plays an important role in an automobile engine as it…
Different Types of clutch and their working principle
by
in AutomobileDue to the fact that a clutch is one of the major important components in a car, it is made of types to meet different requirements. In the previous lesson, the clutch is explained to be a mechanical device that engages and disengages the power transmission from the driving shaft to the driven shaft. We…
Everything you need to know about automobile clutch
by
in AutomobileIn an automobile engine, there is a mechanical device that allows the engine to work at a stationary position It is called a clutch. The component engages and disengages power transmission especially from a driving shaft to the driven shaft. In order words, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts).…
Difference between petrol and diesel engine
by
in AutomobileIt’s common on our street roads today to see vehicles carrying either petrol engines or diesel engines. these two types of automobile engines are the conventional types even though one exists before the other. Even with the vast usage of the two most drivers confuse the difference and similarities between petrol and diesel engine. Well,…

Car Engine Cylinder Configurations
by
in AutomobileThe earlier development of engines works on the number of cylinders, meaning the more cylinders the greater the performance. Well, that’s for the earliest development. But that’s no longer true ever since the development of turbochargers and fuel injection systems, making cars with fewer cylinders perform better than cars with larger engines. Note this, whether…
Understanding engine configuration
by
in AutomobileThe engine configuration outlines the basic operating principles used to classify internal combustion engines. A piston engine’s cylinder configuration, valves, and camshafts are frequently used to classify them. The number of rotors in a given Wankel engine is frequently used to categorize them. Turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and turboshafts are common categories for gas turbine engines.…
Different Types of Car Engine
by
in AutomobileWe hardly ever pay attention to the engine, which is a car’s most crucial part. For car fanatics, the engine is the first item that comes to mind, but for the average person, it’s definitely the last!
