Engine Technology - Inlet Manifold Efficiency

By Andrew Greaney

Most engine technology are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around inlet (intake) manifold efficiency by improving the mass airflow rate through a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT inlet manifold with a plenum chamber. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind airflow through an inlet manifold, engine kinetics, resonance of air induction, reverse airflow and design methods used to make the most of these phenomena's. Subjects explored include why achieving a greater mass flow rate through the inlet system creates more torque, power and volumetric efficiency, engine airflow, inlet valve closing angles, engine airflow equations, valve timing, pulse/inertia tuning and frequency equations. A case study is also demonstrated within this book using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to show how tuning an inlet manifold to efficiently take advantage to the airflow and resonance. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering engine inlet manifolds!
