Turbocharger and Supercharger Quiz

What is the main driving force behind a turbocharger?

• Exhaust gases

• Crankshaft

• Electric motor

• Hydraulic pump

How is a supercharger driven?

• By exhaust gases

• By the crankshaft

• By an electric motor

• By a hydraulic pump

Which component is positively driven without lag?

• Turbocharger

• Supercharger

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

Explain why a turbocharger might experience lag. Consider the process of how it is driven.

• It relies on exhaust gases which take time to build up

• It is driven directly by the crankshaft

• It uses an electric motor that needs to start up

• It is powered by a hydraulic system

How are superchargers driven by the engine's crankshaft?

• Belt

• Pulley

• Hydraulic

• Electric motor

Which of the following is NOT a method by which superchargers are driven?

• Gear

• Chain

• Belt

• Solar power

What is one method used to drive a supercharger from the engine's crankshaft?

• Gear

• Battery

• Solar panel

• Wind turbine

Which component in the Roots type supercharger is responsible for the intake of air?

• Discharge port

• Lobe chamber

• Intake port

• Timing gears

During which phase does the Roots type supercharger trap the charge?

• Filling and displacing phase

• Displacement and discharge phase

• Compression phase

• Exhaust phase

What is the role of the timing gears in a Roots type supercharger?

• To synchronize the rotation of the lobes

• To increase the speed of air intake

• To cool the supercharger

• To reduce noise during operation
