improvement in fuel economy in operation over the Japanese 10-15 cycle. When downsizing, Kato said, using a turbocharger or supercharger to offset the decrease in output can result in a fall in the knocking limit as the boosting pressure rises, causing the thermal efficiency to fall as well. and back again.
