    The document discusses the components and operation of normally aspirated engines, superchargers, and turbochargers. It lists the major components of each system and explains their functions. Specifically, it outlines four components of a normally aspirated engine: air intake, air filter, fuel delivery system, and intake manifold. It then describes the purpose of a supercharger as increasing manifold pressure and fuel/air mixture to provide high power. Disadvantages include using engine power. For turbochargers, it lists five major components and explains how the absolute pressure controller and pressure ratio controller work to control turbocharger speed and pressure.

    Assignment 1

    1.
    a. List down 4 major components of normally aspirated engine.

    1. Air Intake
    2. Air filter
    3. Fuel delivery system
    4. Intake manifold

    b. Explain the function and purpose of each component.

    1. Air intake is to direct ram air as much as possible into the carburetor or other fuel
    metering devices. The pressure within the air intake is higher than any other point in
    a normally aspirated engine.
    2. Purpose of an air filter is to prevent any dust, sand, abrasive materials or other
    contaminants from entering the cylinder.
    3. Purpose of fuel delivery system is to meter the correct amount of fuel/ air mixture
    enters the cylinder under all operating conditions.
    4. Intake manifold purpose are to direct fuel and air mixture from fuel delivery system
    to each cylinder.

    2.
    a. What is the purpose of Supercharger?
    Supercharger has 4 purposes according to the slides. One of it is to increase the
    Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) above atmospheric pressure 30 in Hg to provide high
    power output during takeoff. Second is to increase the weight of fuel/air mixture
    delivered to engine cylinders. Third is to increase the compression pressure and lastly is
    to sustain maximum power at high altitude.

    c. Explain supercharger disadvantages.


    Supercharger consume large amount of engine power output for the amount of power
    increase they produce. To put it simply, supercharger suck the engine power to produce
    the engine power needed. For the single stage, single speed supercharger. The
    disadvantage is that the engine power output decrease when the altitude increase.

    1
    3.
    a. List down 5 major components of turbocharger.
    1. compressor impeller.
    2. compressor housing.
    3. turbine assembly.
    4. turbine housing.
    5. bearing housing.

    b. Explain the operation of Absolute Pressure Controller (APC).

    To control the speed and output of the turbocharger, but controls the system only at maximum
    output, is the absolute pressure controller. The absolute pressure controller contains an
    aneroid bellows that is referenced to upper deck pressure. It operates the wastegate, which
    diverts, more or less, exhaust gas over the turbine. As an absolute pressure setting is reached, it
    bypasses oil, and relieves the pressure on the waste gate actuator. This allows the absolute
    pressure controller to control the maximum turbocharger compressor discharge pressure. The
    turbocharger is completely automatic, requiring no pilot action up to the critical altitude.

    When the upper deck pressure increases, the bellow expands and the variable restrictor valve
    open. The oil will then flow out from the waste gate actuator and the spring pressure open the
    waste gates.

    When the upper deck pressure decreases, the bellow will contract and the variable restrictor
    valve will close. The oil pressure will then be restricted inside the actuator and the waste gate
    close.

    When the engine is not running, there will be no oil pressure in the actuator and the spring will
    held the waste gate to open. The capillary tube restrictor will cause the oil to flow out of the
    actuator faster than the oil flow in. The bellow will expand whenever the upper deck pressure is
    1 inch above the desired manifold pressure.

    As the aircraft climbs, the air will be less dense hence the upper deck pressure drops. This will
    cause the bellow to contract and the restrictor valve will close. This restricts the oil to flow out

    2
    of the actuator and the oil pressure closes the waste gate. The turbocharger speed will increase
    and the waste gate will fully close at the critical altitude. Once the critical altitude has reached
    and it is above the critical altitude, the manifold pressure will decrease.

    c. Explain the operation of Pressure Ratio Controller (PRC).

    Pressure ratio controller monitor both ambient and upper deck and also prevent the
    turbocharger from boosting the upper deck pressure higher than 2.2 times the atmospheric
    pressure. Whenever the upper deck pressure is 2.2 times higher than the atmospheric pressure,
    the restrictor valve will open, bleeds the oil from the actuator back to engine, then the spring
    pressure will open the waste gate. As back up to pressure controller, pressure relief valve is
    fitted to the relief upper deck pressure when it exceeds maximum rated pressure by 1 to 1.5
    inches. The pressure ratio controller is fitted parallel to the absolute pressure controller (APC).
