Pump

A pump is a device used to move fluids, such as liquids, gases or slurries. A pump displaces a volume by physical or mechanical action. Pumps fall into three major groups: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.

Torque Converter

Operation :
Fluid sent to the torque converter from the transmission oil pump is picked up by the rotating vanes of the impeller and transferred to the turbine vanes through rotary and vortex flow paths.


The impeller, also known as the pump, is the driving member and rotates with the engine. The impeller vanes pick up fluid in the converter housing and direct it toward the turbine. Fluid flow drives the turbine, and when the flow between the impeller and turbine is adequate, the turbine rotates and turns the transmission input shaft. A torque converter contains the stator, or reactor, a reaction member mounted on a one-way clutch. The vanes used in each of the three elements of a torque converter are curved to increase the diversion angle of the fluid. This also increases the force exerted by the fluid and improves the hydraulic advantage.
The outlet side of the impeller vanes accelerates the fluid as it leaves the impeller to increase torque transfer to the turbine.
. The inlet side of the turbine vanes absorb shock and limit power loss that occurs when flow between the impeller and turbine suddenly changes. The curve of the stator vanes is opposite to the curve of the impeller and turbine vanes
. Since the stator is located between the impeller and turbine, it adds to the original impeller flow and multiplies the force delivered to the turbine.

LEAF SPRING

A leaf spring is a simple type of suspension spring commonly used in vehicles. This type of spring is typically constructed of one or more flat, thin, flexible steel strips that are joined together in order to work as a single unit. The steel strips of a leaf spring are curved into an arc and attached at each end to the underside of a vehicle to help position and support the axle, and also to absorb shock.

SUPERCHARGER

A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. 

This gives each cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power.

Power for the supercharger can be provided mechanically by means of a belt, gear, shaft, or chain connected to the engine's crankshaft.
