Efficiency of the engine
The efficiency of the engine depends to a large extent upon the following criteria: · Compression · Combustion Process · Air/Fuel Mixture · Mechanical Design · Lubrication 1) Compression The higher…
How to Produce More Engine Power
Car manufacturers are constantly playing with all of the following variables to make an engine more powerful and/or more fuel efficient. 1. Increase displacement - More displacement means more power because…
Engine Problems
Three fundamental things can happen: a bad fuel mix, lack of compression or lack of spark. Beyond that, thousands of minor things can create problems, but these are the "big…
Components of Automobile Engine
1) Camshaft: Camshaft is a type of rotating device or apparatus used in piston engines for propelling or operating poppet valves. Camshaft comprises of series of cams that regulates the…
Construction and Working of Differential Assembly
Torque is supplied from the engine, via the transmission, to a drive shaft (British term: 'propeller shaft', commonly and informally abbreviated to 'prop-shaft'), which runs to thefinal drive unit that contains the differential. A spiral bevel pinion gear…
Need of a Differential
Car wheels spin at different speeds, especially when turning. Each wheel travels a different distance through the turn, and that the inside wheels travel a shorter distance than the outside…
Advantages & Disadvantages of All Or 4- Wheel Drive
The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-drive (full-time four-wheel-drive) vehicles. These all-wheel-drive vehicles need a differential between each set of drive wheels,…
Advantages & Disadvantages of Rear Wheel Drive
Advantages of Rear Wheel Drive- 1. Better handling in dry conditions - accelerating force is applied to the rear wheels, on which the down force increases, due to load transfer in acceleration, making the rear tires better…
Advantages & Disadvantages of Front Wheel Drive
Advantages of Front Wheel Drive- 1. Interior space: Since the powertrain is a single unit contained in the engine compartment of the vehicle, there is no need to devote interior space for a driveshaft tunnel…
