Swift Dzire LDi

Even as the launch of the Hyundai Xcent – a compact sedan – is just around the corner, Maruti Suzuki has released a limited edition version of the Swift Dzire LDi. Dubbed the Dzire LDi X, the limited edition version of the compact sedan gets a host of new features while remaining mechanically unchanged. The car is powered by the 1.3 liter Fiat Multijet turbo diesel engine that is good for 75 Bhp-190 Nm. A five speed manual gearbox is standard.
The Dzire LDi X limited edition variant is priced at 6.86 lakh rupees, on-road Delhi, a price premium of about 37 thousand rupees from the regular LDi variant. Maruti Suzuki claims that the additional features on the LDi X model is worth about 46,500 rupees. By introducing the LDi X variant, Maruti Suzuki is offering a similar level of kit as it does on the VDi variant, albeit at a price that is about 67,000 rupees lower (Dzire VDi is priced at 7.53 lakh rupees on-road Delhi).
The Dzire is sold in seven other variants, 4 in petrol and 3 in diesel. The 4 petrol variants of the Dzire are powered by the 1.2 liter K-Series petrol engine that outputs 86 Bhp-114 Nm. While a five speed gearbox is standard on the LXi, VXi and ZXi variants, the VXi automatic version of the car gets a 4 speed automatic gearbox. The Dzire is India’s best selling sedan. However, competition is growing what with the likes of two new compact sedans, the Hyundai Xcent and the Tata Zest, lined up.

BMW confirms production of X7 SUV for 2016

We had revealed earlier that luxury carmaker  BMW  has plans to expand their manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, US, to build their new X7 SUV.  BMW  has now officially confirmed the same. This announcement was made by Norbert Reithofer, CEO,  BMW  AG at Spartanburg plant's 20 years celebration event. The X7 will be the biggest SUV manufactured by BMW, and the production of the same will begin in 2016.  BMW hasn’t revealed much about the model, but we expect it to be a seven-seater SUV. The X7 will be based on the extended platform of the X5 and X6 SUVs. Unlike the X5, which is also available with four-cylinder engines and in rear-wheel-drive configuration, the X7 is expected to be offered exclusively with six- and eight-cylinder engines and in all-wheel-drive only. Plug-in hybrid technology will also feature in some variants. BMW plans to boost the annual production at the Spartanburg plant by 50 per cent, thus increasing the number...

New Corolla Altis

The Corolla Altis will be sold with petrol and turbo diesel engine options, with the engines from the outgoing model being retained. The petrol powered 2014 Corolla Altis will be powered by a 1.8 liter engine that outputs 138 Bhp-173 Nm. A 6 speed manual and a CVT automatic gearbox with 7 stepped shifts are the two transmissions offered with this engine. The diesel motor is a 1.4 liter D-4D turbocharged unit that outputs 88 Bhp-205 Nm. This diesel engine – a variable geometry equipped version that is similar to the ones outfitted on the Liva and Etios – makes do with a 6 speed manual gearbox. The petrol engine is likely to feature better fuel efficiency given the new, fine tuned CVT automatic gearbox. The Altis will take on the likes of the Chevrolet Cruze and the Volkswagen Jetta. The all-new Corolla Altis comes with a new design, replete with LED headlamps and tail lamps. The revised design ditches curves for an approach that adds more straight lines. The result is a more E...

A heat exchanger is a specialized device that assists in the transfer of heat from one fluid to the other. In some cases, a solid wall may separate the fluids and prevent them from mixing. In other designs, the fluids may be in direct contact with each other. In the most efficient heat exchangers, the surface area of the wall between the fluids is maximized while simultaneously minimizing the fluid flow resistance. Fins or corrugations are sometimes used with the wall in order to increase the surface area and to induce turbulence. Common appliances containing a heat exchanger include air conditioners, refrigerators, and space heaters. These devices are also used in chemical processing and power production. Perhaps the most commonly known heat exchanger is a car radiator, which cools the hot radiator fluid  by taking advantage of airflow over the surface of the radiator. There are three primary flow arrangements with heat exchangers: counter-flow, parallel-flow, and cross-flow...
