Abstract
An internal combustion engine is equipped with a turbocharger that includes: a centrifugal compressor impeller; an axial flow turbine wheel coupled to the compressor impeller via a rotational shaft; a bearing that supports the rotational shaft; and a housing that houses at least the compressor impeller and the bearing among the compressor impeller, the bearing and the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is coupled to the rotational shaft such that an outlet of turbine blades of the turbine wheel is located on the side of the compressor impeller. The compressor impeller is arranged such that an inlet of the compressor impeller becomes closer to the turbine wheel than an outlet of the compressor impeller.
