A centrifugal compressor includes a flow changing groove that is formed on an inner wall of the suction passage and extends in a rotation direction of the compressor wheel. A boundary part of a groove wall of the flow changing groove and the inner wall of the suction passage includes an upstream boundary part positioned on an upstream side in the circulation direction of the gas, and a downstream boundary part positioned on a downstream side in the circulation direction. The upstream boundary part is positioned on the inner side in a radial direction of the compressor wheel than the downstream boundary part, and the flow changing groove is positioned on the upstream side of the wheel in the circulation direction.

The present invention relates to a power transmission apparatus using a magnetic field, the power transmission apparatus comprising a rotor module, a front driver module and a rear driver module, or comprising a rotor module and any one of a front driver module and a rear driver module. The power transmission apparatus generates, using power received from a power applying driving body or power received from a power receiving driving body, rotational power from a combination of an induced magnetic field which the front driver module generates, a rotating magnetic field which the rotor module generates, and a rotating magnetic field which the rotor module generates together with the front driver module and the rear driver module, and acceleratedly rotates to increase the rotational power, thereby transmitting power to the power receiving driving body and to a target object.

A compressor in a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a compressor wheel that includes a central hub having a centerline, a root portion and an end portion. A plurality of blades is formed around the central hub. The plurality of blades includes a group of full-blades extending from the root portion of the central hub up to a maximum distance from the root portion along the centerline, a group of partial-blades extending to an area along the centerline that is between 40% and 55% of the maximum distance along the centerline, and a group of half-blades extending to an area along the centerline that is between 55% and 70% of the maximum distance. The plurality of blades is organized in repeating sets of blades arranged around the compressor wheel, each repeating set including at least one full-blade, at least one half-blade and at least one partial-blade.

In an air handling system of a uniflow-scavenged, two-stroke cycle opposed-piston engine, one or more engine operating state parameters are sensed, numerical values of air handling parameters based on trapped conditions in a cylinder of the engine at the last port closing of an engine operating cycle are determined in response to the sensed parameters, the numerical values are evaluated, and one or more of the numerical values is adjusted in response to the evaluation. The adjusted numerical values are used to control charge air flow and EGR flow in the air handling system.
