What Women Want – features that swing a woman’s car purchase decision!

Automatic Transmission
An automatic gearbox is primarily aimed at making car driving easier. Women have traditionally gravitated towards automatic gearbox equipped cars for the comfort and ease of driving such cars offer. India is seeing more and more cars being equipped with automatic gearboxes, and this is true even in the price conscious budget segments. The Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is an emerging trend in the automatic gearbox equipped car segment, and one that is likely to become quite common in cars sold here.
Bluetooth
Having a Bluetooth equipped stereo system helps one not only stream music from smartphones but also allows one to talk over the phone hands free. Talking on the phone through a Bluetooth system is much safer than balancing the phone between the neck and shoulder. Women outdo men in voting for this feature that is soon becoming commonplace even on budget cars. Why, even the Tata Nano’s top end variants now offer Bluetooth connectivity as standard.

Shell inaugurates first lubricant and oil research centre in China

Shell has formally opened its first lubricant and oil research facility in Shanghai, China. The Shanghai research centre becomes the company’s third facility which will focus on lubricants product development and its application for China and other countries such as India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The Shanghai centre will become a part of Shell’s network of lubricants laboratories, working closely with the other two centres, each located in Hamburg, Germany and Houston, USA respectively. These are part of a wider 10-centre strong global network of Shell R&D centres. The research centre sprawls a good 92,500 sq ft and will cover a wide range of product applications which include passenger car motor oils (PCMOs), motorcycle oils (MCOs), heavy duty engine oils (HDEOs), transmission fluids, as well as industrial and speciality oils and greases. The research work will also cover oils for the shipping centre. The Shanghai facility will also provide techni...

Fuel efficient cars in B segment

 In the land of the “Kitna Deti Hai”, diesel hatchbacks continue to rule the hustings, especially in the B+ segment space. CarToq rounds up India’s most fuel efficient diesel hatchbacks in an updated 2014 list. So, if you’re in the market for a diesel hatchback with an emphasis on fuel efficiency, you must stop by and go through this list. All fuel efficiency figures in this list are ARAI certified. Oh, and there’s a surprise in store. India’s best selling B+ Segment hatchback isn’t in this list. Whoever said Indians care only for mileage. Chevrolet Beat – 25.44 Kmpl Despite being the most fuel efficient hatchback in the country, the Chevrolet Beat doesn’t even sell half as much as the best selling B+ segment hatchback. The Beat Diesel manages 25.44 Kmpl, mainly due to its 936 cc – 3 cylinder turbo diesel engine that is a downsized version of the 1.3 liter Multijet diesel motor that Fiat and General Motors jointly developed. Although the engine is super frugal, the loss...

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...
