A vehicle is composed of basic mechanical parts and devices making |
|||
up its systems; each of them fulfills a specific function: |
||||
fuel supply system – set of components supplying the fuel to the engine. |
||||
transmission system – set of components transmitting the motion produced |
||||
by the motor to the wheels. |
Д |
|||
|
|
|||
suspension system – set of components that joins the wheels to the vehicle’s |
||||
body whileбАreducing shocks caused by the road’s unevenness and improving |
||||
the hold on the road. |
|
|
|
|
braking system – set of components that reduce the vehicle’s speed, |
||||
eventually to a halt, and keep it in place while parked. |
||||
|
|
И |
||
steering system – set of components that direct the front wheels to guide the vehicle as it moves.
gasoline engine – engine in which a mixture of air and gasoline is compressed and ignited to produce an explosion whose energy is converted into mechanical energy.
cooling system – set of components that prevents the temperature of the engine from rising excessively.
electrical system – set of components supplying the necessary current for starting the vehicle and operating its electric accessories.
exhaust system – set of components designed to expel the engine’s burned gases into the ambient air.
fuel supply system – set of components supplying the fuel to the engine

When people think of automobile performance, they normally think of
horsepower, torque and zero-to-60 acceleration. But all of the power |
|
generated by a piston engine is useless if the driver can't control the car. |

If a road were perfectly flat, with no irregularities, … wouldn't be necessary. But roads are far from flat. Even freshly paved highways have subtle imperfections that can interact with the wheels of a car. It's these
imperfections that apply forces to the wheels.
The study of the forces at work on a moving car is called vehicle dynamics, and you need to understand some of these concepts in order to appreciate why a … is necessary. Most automobile engineers consider the
dynamics of a moving car from two perspectives:
Ride - a car's ability to smooth out a bumpy road
Handling - a car's ability to safely accelerate, brake and corner
These two characteristics can be further described in three important |
|
principles - road isolation, |

road holding and cornering. The table below |

Today we will discuss about engine and types of engine used in automobile. Any device which can convert heat energy of fuel into mechanical energy is known as engine or heat engine. Engine is widely used in automobile industries or we can say thatИengine is the heart of an automobile. Basically engine may be classified into two types.
Types of Engine:
1. External combustion (E.C.) Engine
It is an engine in which combustion of fuel take place outside of the engine. In this type of engine heat, which is generated by burning of fuel is use to convert the water or other low boiling temperature fluid into steam. This high pressure steam used to rotate a turbine. In this engine we can use all solid, liquid and gases fuel. These engines are generally used in driving locomotive, ships, generation of electric power etc.
Advantages of E.C. engine. In these engines starting torque is generally high. Because of external combustion we can use cheaper fuels as well as solid fuel. They are more flexible compare to internal combustion engines.
