Hello Engineers, Automobile Engineering is a subject of Mechanical Engineering that focuses on the design, development, and production of automobiles. It covers various topics such as vehicle dynamics, engine design, transmission systems, and safety features. As Automobile Engineering is one of the most important subject in ME/AUE/IP engineering branch. So, i thought to share this excellent eBook in the pdf format for you all to download and study. These notes on Automobile Engineering cover the following topics:
- UNIT I VEHICLE STRUCTURE AND ENGINES - Types of automobiles, vehicle construction and different layouts, chassis, frame and body, Resistances to vehicle motion and need for a gearbox, components of engine, their forms, functions and materials
- UNIT II ENGINE AUXILIARY SYSTEMS - Electronically controlled gasoline injection system for SI engines, electronically controlled Diesel injection system (Unit injector system, Rotary distributor type and common rail direct Injection system), Electronic ignition system, Turbo chargers, and Engine emission control by three Way catalytic converter systems
