Furious E Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good books for reading up on the fundamentals of turbochargers. I'm looking for some good, technically informative reading. I'm looking to incorporate a turbo with a small diesel engine on a project for school next year and I'm looking for something that will give me info I need on properly matching a turbo to the engine as well as providing a means of calculating the efficiency of the engine and the turbo. I have some general knowledge on the subject but I'm looking to get in depth. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzimark Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Any fluid mechanics/dynamics book will be in a great start, but is probably much more broad than you want to attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
