Introduction
 Automobile or Automotive engineering is a branch of
engineering which deals with the study as how to design,
manufacture and operate automobile and also their
respective engineering sub-systems.

 An automobile engineers main duty is to design, test


and develops vehs / components from concept stage
through to production stage. The veh after being launched in
the market also need improvement.

 Then it come to the duty of the automobile engineers to


improve the veh in response to customer feedback.
What is Automobile?
What is Automobile?

The automobile is a self propelled vehicle that travels on


land. It usually has four wheels. An engine provides the
power to move the vehicle.

Automobiles are normally used to transport people and


items from one location to another location Different types of
automobile include cars, buses, vans and trucks, with cars
being the most popular by far.

Construction of the Automobile
 An engine is a machine that converts heat energy into
mechanical energy. The heat from a fuel produces power
which moves the vehicle.
Construction of the Automobile

 A power train, to carry the power from the


engine to the drive wheels. 
 A suspension system that absorbs the shock
of the tires and wheels meeting bumps and holes in
the road.
 A steering system, so the driver can control
the direction of vehicle travel.
 A braking system, so the driver can slow and
stop the vehicle.
Suspension &Steering System
Under the Hood

a. Engine.
b. Air conditioning
Compressor.
c. Alternator.
d. Starting motor.
e. Power steering pump.
f. Supercharger
or Turbocharger.
g. Battery.
h.
. Brake booster.
Identifying the drive wheels

a. Rear wheel drive (RWD).


b. Front wheel drive (FWD).
c. Four wheel drive (4WD).

Sources of Power
In the automobile engine power is produced by
burning a mixture of air and fuel inside engine
cylinders.

Supporting Engine operation
1. The fuel System. The fuel system mixes
gasoline or similar fuel with air to make a mixture
that will burn in the engine cylinders. Fuel system
uses following components to make the air fuel
mixture:
a. Carburetor
b. Electronic firing ignition (EFI).
c. Electronic control module (ECM)
d. Fuel injector. Throttle body injector and
Port injector

Lubrication System

2. The Lubrication System. Keeps all moving


parts inside the engine coated with layers of oil.

a. Reduces on the parts.


b. Allows the parts to move freely with little
power lost in making them move

Cooling System

3. The cooling System. Burning fuel inside the


engine cylinder produces heat. If some of the heat
is not removed, metal engine parts will melt. The
cooling system removes just enough heat so the
engine runs at the proper temp.

6. The braking system. Helps the driver to slow


and stop the moving vehicles. There are two kinds
of brakes at the wheels:

7. The Electrical System.


a. Provide electricity to the starting motor
to crank the engine.
b. Provide electricity to the spark plugs.
c. Provide electricity to the fuel ignition
system.
  d. Provide electricity to the charging
system, light, horns, radio and
