What is the Difference Between Supercharging and Turbocharging in Automobiles?

[McAbigail]

Automobile supercharging and turbocharging differ in the following aspects: 1. Charging Methods: Supercharging utilizes the engine's own power to drive a compressor for pressurization; Turbocharging uses the exhaust gases produced by the engine to drive a turbine in the exhaust pipe, which in turn drives a turbine in the intake pipe for indirect pressurization. 2. Pressure Differences: Supercharging is limited by the engine's speed, resulting in lower pressure; Turbochargers operate at extremely high speeds, generating several times more pressure than superchargers. 3. Structural Differences: Superchargers are connected to the engine's crankshaft pulley via a belt, using the engine's speed to drive internal blades to produce pressurized air delivered to the engine's intake manifold; Turbochargers have their turbine housing intake connected to the exhaust manifold, with the exhaust outlet linked to the exhaust pipe, the turbocharger's intake connected to the air filter pipe, and the exhaust outlet connected to the intake manifold, with the turbine and impeller installed in the turbine housing and the turbocharger, respectively.
