About turboCharger

Piston engine turbocharger 0D simulation tool

After the successfull simulation the reports are created (in the Markdown language, in Russian for now only) with dimesioned pictures (see example below)

The program was written to open reports in the Markdown editor Typora. It is advisable to use it to display LaTeX formulas correctly in Markdown files (automatic .pdf LaTeX generation in develop).
