A Review on Design, Development and Optimization of Air Intake Manifold
The main function of the intake manifold is to uniformly distribute the combustion mixture to each intake port in the cylinder head(s). The proper distribution of air is important to optimize the efficiency and performance of the engine. If the air supply is uneven it leads to less volumetric efficiency, power loss and increased fuel consumption. There is possibility to change the geometry of intake manifold to increase its volumetric efficiency. The finite element method is used to optimize the intake manifold. The factor which affects the swirl strength and mass flow rate in intake manifold . Keywords— Intake manifold, CFD, Pressure, Swirl Strength, Smoke
