Abstract

The intake manifold is a crucial component in the intake system. The main function of the intake manifold is to provide an even mixture of air and fuel and induce turbulent flow. The length of the intake manifold significantly influences the uniformity of the air and fuel mixture. Therefore, modification of the length of the intake manifold can be done to achieve optimal results. This study uses the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method to obtain quantitative and qualitative data through simulations. Quantitative data includes the size and percentage of the number of fuel particles, pressure, and speed. Qualitative data include fuel distribution, pathline, velocity contours and vectors, and pressure con- tours. The simulation results show that the longer the intake manifold, the distribution of fuel particles becomes more even and the speed is more uniform. The length of the intake manifold also affects the pressure drop at the outlet, where the longer the intake manifold, the lower the pressure.
