And to know how much heat is produced, you must understand adiabatic processes. A turbo just takes in air and compress it by increasing the velocity of the molecules. When the molecules doesn't have anywhere to go (like going back through the intercooler) the compression process heats it up. This heat is the disadvantage of turbochargers.

This heat is the disadvantage of turbochargers. i dont get it, are you rewording what i said, or disagreeing with me? your definition of adiabatic is exactly what i said. assuming the time is minute, than it is a reasonable approximation that no heat is transferred, but the physical work of compression increases the internal energy of the gas. yes, i have seen internal energy represented by both U and E depending on the text and context. -------------------- ![]() I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem.
