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.

С

That's why automobile engineers turned their attention to the system

almost as soon as they had mastered the four-stroke internal combustion

engine.

 

The job of a car … is to maximize the friction between the tires and

и

the road surface, to provide steering stability with good handling and to

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,

Д

road holding and cornering. The table below

describes these principles and how engineers attempt to solve the challenges unique to each.

16. Put the following types of propulsion into the chronological order:

1. electric-powered;

2. horse-drawn;

3. gasoline-powered;

4. steam-powered.

С17. Find as many cognate words (nouns, adjectives, verbs) as possible for the following words:

to transport, to propel, electric, power, fuel.

19. Skim the text and list main types of internal combustion engine’s classifications are mentioned inДthe text. Read the text paying attention to the new terms for you. Write out and translate them.

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.
