He aha ka turbocharger?

Kiʻi: ʻElua manaʻo o kahi turbocharger aila ʻole i hoʻomohala ʻia e NASA.Kiʻi ʻia e NASA Glenn Research Center (NASA-GRC).

Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i nā kaʻa e lele ana ma mua ou me nā uahi sooty e kahe ana mai ko lākou huelo?ʻIke ʻia ke kumu o ka hoʻohaumia ʻana o ka ea i ka mahuka, akā ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia e pau ana ka ikehu i ka manawa like.ʻO ka pauku ka hui ʻana o nā kinoea wela e puhi ana i waho me ka wikiwiki a me ka ikehu a pau i loko o ia mea—ʻo ka wela a me ka neʻe (ke ikehu kinetic)—e nalo makehewa ana i ka lewa.ʻAʻole anei e maʻemaʻe inā hiki i ka ʻenekini ke hoʻohana i kēlā mana hoʻopau i mea e holo wikiwiki ai ke kaʻa?ʻO ia ka hana a ka turbocharger.

Hana nā ʻenekini kaʻa i ka mana ma ka puhi ʻana i ka wahie i loko o nā kini metala ikaika i kapa ʻia ʻo cylinders.Komo ka ea i kēlā me kēia pahu, hui pū me ka wahie, a puhi ʻia e hana i kahi pahū liʻiliʻi e hoʻokuʻu i kahi piston i waho, e hoʻohuli i nā kumu a me nā mea e wili ai i nā huila o ke kaʻa.Ke hoʻi hou ka piston i loko, hoʻomoʻi ʻo ia i ka ea ʻōpala a me ka hui ʻana o ka wahie i waho o ka cylinder e like me ka pau.ʻO ka nui o ka mana e hiki ke hana i kahi kaʻa e pili pono i ka wikiwiki o ka puhi ʻana i ka wahie.ʻOi aku ka nui o nā cylinders iā ʻoe a ʻoi aku ka nui o lākou, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wahie e hiki ai i ke kaʻa ke puhi i kēlā me kēia kekona a (ma ka liʻiliʻi loa) ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki.

ʻO kahi ala e holo wikiwiki ai ke kaʻa ʻo ia ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā cylinders.ʻO ia ke kumu i loaʻa ai i nā kaʻa haʻuki wikiwiki loa he ʻewalu a me ʻumikūmālua mau pahu ma kahi o nā pahu ʻehā a ʻeono paha i loko o kahi kaʻa ʻohana maʻamau.ʻO kahi koho ʻē aʻe ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka turbocharger, kahi e hoʻoikaika ai i ka ea i loko o nā cylinders i kēlā me kēia kekona i hiki iā lākou ke puhi i ka wahie i ka wikiwiki.ʻO ka turbocharger he mea maʻalahi, maʻalahi, ʻokoʻa keu o ka pahu hiki ke loaʻa ka mana hou aʻe mai ka mīkini hoʻokahi!
