摘要：In automotive technology, an intake manifold is the component of an engine that transports the air-fuelmixture to the engine cylinders. The main purpose of the intake manifold is to evenly distribute the combustion mixtureto each intake port of the engine cylinder. Even distribution is important to optimize the volumetric efficiency andperformance of the engine. The scope of this paper is limited to designing the CAD model of the intake manifold usingsolidworks software and analysing the air flow inside it using ANSYS fluent CFD package. To do this, four differentintake manifolds would be designed wherein, the shape of the plenum would be varied keeping the dimensions of therestrictor and the runners same. Flow would be analysed in each of the different geometries of the intake manifold andthe results of each would be compared. After comparing the results of the analysis, the best geometry of the intakemanifold that produces the most favourable outlet conditions would then be selected. Design parameters of the intakemanifold are to be done by considering formula student (FSAE) rules.
