Turbocharging the Internal Combustion Engine
This is the only course for industrial engineers providing a comprehensive presentation of the design principles of turbochargers, engine-turbocharger matching, and the performance of turbocharged engine systems.
Lectures will cover the characteristics, design, and performance of the principal turbocharger components. Methods of ensuring that the compressor and turbine are correctly matched to the engine are described. The utilization of exhaust gas energy by the turbocharger in various types of engine is also covered. Advanced turbocharger system concepts such as variable geometry and compounding are described. Special emphasis is placed on the problems confronting the engine industry today, including the need for fuel economy and reductions in exhaust emissions, and how turbocharging influences these demands.
Who Should Attend
- Engineers in the automotive, locomotive, and marine drive system fields or the power generation industry will gain an extensive understanding of turbocharger design and engine-turbocharger system matching and performance.
- This course is an excellent briefing for engineers new to this field, while established engineers will gain fresh insight and be introduced to the latest ideas.
- Managers and sales personnel in these fields will gain insight into the design and analysis of turbocharged engine systems.

NREC.
Dr. Baines has 25 years of experience in the turbomachinery industry
and in academe. Before taking up his present position he was a
faculty member at Imperial College, London, where his research
was concentrated on turbocharger turbine developments. He is the
author of many papers and three books on turbomachinery. He has
also served as a member of the organizing committee for the I
Mech E conferences on turbocharging.
Course
Materials
Participants will receive Fundamentals of Turbocharging by Nicholas C. Baines. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of turbochargers and turbocharging to be made widely available in the last twenty years. It is intended to serve as both an introduction to the turbocharger itself, and to the problems of matching a turbocharger with an internal combustion engine. The turbocharger is a highly sophisticated device, which has been described as aerospace gas turbine engineering allied to mass production techniques. Undoubtedly the key to commercial success lies in achieving the correct compromise between performance, life, and cost, and this runs as a continuous thread through the book.
