Supercharger VS turbocharger engine

Welcome back friends ,
Recently I told you all about components of internal combustion engine and today I am going to discuss about turbo charged engine and super charged engine.

The turbo charged engine and super charged engine sounds really awesome right?
And we all think that they are used in super cars right?
No it's not completely like that
Super charged engine are used mostly in racing cars but, but turbo charged engine are used in normal cars for efficiency.
So here is the main difference between this two engines.

So let's define super charged engine
supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power.
Power for the supercharger can be provided mechanically by means of a belt, gear, shaft, or chain connected to the engine's crankshaft. When power is provided by a turbine powered by exhaust gas, a supercharger is known as a turbo supercharger typically referred to simply as a turbocharger or just turbo. Common usage restricts the term supercharger to mechanically driven units.



Turbochargers are commonly used in passenger cars to obtain greater power output from a given engine size. The compact nature of a turbocharger means it is often a more space-efficient solution for increasing power output than increasing engine displacement. As an example, the turbo Porsche 944's acceleration performance was very similar to that of the larger-engine naturally aspirated Porsche 928. Although turbocharging is less responsive than supercharging, turbocharging is generally considered more efficient than supercharging. New techniques such as twin-turbo/bi turbo (whether parallel or sequential) setups and twin-scroll turbocharger, in combination with technologies such as variable valve timing and direct fuel injection, have cut down on turbo lag.










 
So this is all about supercharged and turbocharger engines
