Introduction
 Turbocharger efficiency on engine operation is affected by
several physical phenomena of different nature:
 Turbomachinery internal irreversibility (isentropic efficiency
in comp. & turbine)
 Mechanical efficiency due to friction in journal & thrust
bearings
 Internal heat transfer effects from turbine side to oil and to
compressor side
 External heat transfer effects
