with these challenges also in the future?

Variable valve timing and


lift
Principle is to use a twoposition advance or
retard of either an
engines intake or
exhaust camshaft to
better match the
engines operating
conditions.Two main
factors that determine an
I.C engine performance
are
The point at which
valves open.
The duration of the
valves being open.

VTEC Engine
(Variable

VTEC works by varying
valve timing and lift to
compensate for the
time delay and out-ofphase arrival of the airfuel charge at the

SUPER AND TURBO


CHARGERS
Forcing more air into a cylinder allows more
fuel to be burned, generating more power
from an engine of a given weight and size;
that's
the basic idea behind super-charging
Turbocharger
and
turbo-charging.
After
exhaust gases leave
the cylinders, they pass
into one of the chambers
spinning turbine. As this
turbine spins, it spins the
turbine in the opposite
chamber(compressor). As
this compressor spins, it
draws in outside air and
forces it into the engine
intake manifold and finally
into the combustion
chambers.

Supercharger
The key difference
between a turbocharger
and a supercharger is its
power supply. Something
has to supply the power
to run the air compressor.
In a supercharger, there is
a belt that connects
directly to the engine. It
gets its power the same
way that the water pump
or alternator does.
Types of superchargers
Roots type
Twin screw type
Centrifugal type

Advantages of super and


turbo chargers
Turbochargers are light weight,
mechanical simplicity and
durability, uses engine exhaust,
less fuel is consumed. Since the
volume of exhaust gas is
dependent upon engine load,
The greater the load, the more
the turbo boast.
Superchargers are smaller and
for lighter engine, easier to
install
Both help in contol of
detonation

Hybrid engines
A hybrid propulsion system
uses a petrol or diesel engine
with an electric motor in some
combination.
One variation is to have the
wheels driven only by the
electric motor or motors,
current coming from batteries.
The petrol engine drives a
generator to charge the
batteries; it can be turned on
and off as needed.
Other variation is to have a
relatively small petrol engine
drive the wheels through a
mechanical transmission. An
electric motor provides
assistance when high power is
needed - overtaking and
climbing hills.

Types and advantages of


hybrid engines

Hybrid electric-petroleum vehicles


Continuously outboard recharged electric vehicle
(COREV)
Hybrid fuel (dual mode)
Fluid power hybrid

Advantages
Lower emissions and better

mileage.
Braking are configured to capture
kinetic energy thus Batteries need
not be charged by an external
source.
Reduce the dependency on fossil
fuels which directely affects fuel
prices.

Rotating Liner
It is developed to reduce
Engine
engine friction and
increase fuel economy in
Heavy Duty Engines. The
cylinder liner rotates and
a unique hydrodynamic
face seal replaces the
conventional head
gasket. Thus over
comings the piston ringliner wear around
TDC( due to low
magnitude of sliding
speed around)
Advantages
Improve efficiency and
reduce fuel consumption.
Prolong engine life.

Conclusion
Despite the green hype,
internal-combustion engines
with its latest and advanced
technology will keep powering
vehicles for the foreseeable
future.
