A 4-speed synchromesh gearbox is a type of manual transmission commonly used in automobiles.
Synchromesh gearbox allows for smoother shifting between gears
Each gear has its own synchronizer ring to match the speed of the gear and the input shaft
The gears are arranged in a specific order, typically in an H-pattern
The driver must depress the clutch pedal to disengage the gears before shifting
Commonly found in sports cars
Transmission transfers power from engine to wheels through a series of gears and shafts.
Engine power is transferred to the transmission through the clutch.
The transmission uses gears to adjust the speed and torque of the output shaft.
The output shaft is connected to the driveshaft, which transfers power to the differential.
The differential splits the power between the two wheels, allowing them to rotate at different sp...
Limited slip differential is a type of differential that limits the speed difference between two wheels on an axle.
It allows for better traction and handling in slippery conditions
It works by using a clutch or viscous fluid to transfer torque between the wheels
Examples include the Torsen differential and the Quaife differential

Durability - build quality, material used
Maintenance costs - service intervals, spare parts availability
Turbocharger is a device that increases the efficiency of an engine by compressing air before it enters the combustion chamber.
Turbochargers use exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor to compress the air intake.
This compressed air allows more fuel to be burned, resulting in increased power output.
Turbochargers are commonly used in diesel engines and high-performance gasoline engines.

No, electric vehicles do not use gearbox as they have high torque at low speeds.
Electric motors have a wide range of torque and can operate at low speeds without the need for a gearbox.
Gearboxes add weight and complexity to the vehicle.
Electric vehicles use a single-speed transmission or direct drive system.
Examples of electric vehicles without gearbox are Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, and BMW i3.

A 4 stroke engine works by completing four distinct stages - intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
Intake: Fuel and air are drawn into the cylinder.
Compression: The piston compresses the fuel-air mixture.
Combustion: The spark plug ignites the mixture, causing an explosion.
Exhaust: The piston pushes out the exhaust gases.
This process repeats for every four strokes of the piston.
Diesel cycle is a constant pressure cycle while Otto cycle is a constant volume cycle.
Diesel cycle uses compression ignition while Otto cycle uses spark ignition.
Diesel cycle has a higher compression ratio than Otto cycle.
Diesel cycle is used in diesel engines while Otto cycle is used in gasoline engines.
Diesel cycle has a higher thermal efficiency than Otto cycle.
Diesel cycle has a longer combustion duration than Otto
The more efficient option is X due to its faster processing speed and lower energy consumption.
Option X is more efficient because it has a higher processing speed.
Option X consumes less energy compared to option Y.
Option X provides better performance and productivity.
Option Y may have certain advantages, but overall, option X is more efficient.
Emission consists of gases and particles released into the air by various sources.
Emission can come from natural sources like volcanoes and wildfires, as well as human activities like transportation and industry.
Common pollutants in emissions include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter.
