intake manifold velocity Q&A Review

Engines: How does the throttle mechanism work in motorcycles?

In contrast to cars that use electronic throttle control for propulsion, motorcycles use a throttle cable mechanism for propulsion. What is controlled by the throttle valve is essentially the volume of air entering the intake manifold. As the accelerator is progressively squeezed, the throttle plate (butterfly valve) rotates within the throttle body, opening the throttle passage to allow more air to swoop into the intake manifold. Now, For Fuel Injected Bikes: An air flow sensor measures this change and communicates with the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM communicates this information further to the fuel injectors which then increase the amount of fuel being injected into the combustion chamber(s). For Bikes with Carburettor: The Carburettor has a Venturi like shape which increases air flow velocity further, causing a low pressure region. This is due to the Bernoulli's principle (i.e. as the velocity increases, pressure falls). This low pressure region sucks in more fuel from the float chamber causing more fuel-air mixture to enter into the cylinder(s).

How does a car engine create a vacuum?

Many cars have a Vacuum diaphragm or a vaccum manifold that translates changes of pressure in the intake manifold to a force of suction that is used to operate some systems such as Brake boosters, EGR, Exhaust flapper valves, Heat & AC controls etc. . Manifold pressure changes are caused by changes in the velocity of air as the valves open and close and the piston moves up and down. This vacuum is available on the down-flow side of the throttle plate. When the Throttle is closed fully and the piston moves down, there is a significant drop in pressure in the intake manifold. At wide open throttle , there is significantly lower pressure differential and lower vacuum as a consequence.

What does the term nail head mean on car engines?

Question: ,“What does the term nail head mean on car engines?” This cross sectional drawing of a Buick Nailhead V8 should explain things. These Nailhead V8s were built from 1953 through the mid-1960s. If you are familiar with American V8 engine architecture, two things would stand out in that drawing. The first is that the valves stems are positioned vertically relative to the engine block and at a 45 degree angle relative to the piston top or block deck. The second is that the valve heads are smaller in diameter than those in other engines of similar displacement. The valves look like inverted skinny nails rather than fat mushrooms. Thus, the derivation of the term Nailhead used to describe these engines, the term “head” referring to the engine’s cylinder head. But why were those Buick engines designed that way? Isn’t it always desirable to have larger diameter rather than smaller diameter valves? Well no it isn’t. Given engines of similar displacements, smaller diameter valves, although they will give you lower flow volumes through the manifolds and valve openings, they will produce higher flow velocities. That decrease in volume might in turn somewhat limit the engine’s top speed; but in exchange it will increase the engine’s torque, especially if combined with a long duration camshaft, one that holds the valves open for a larger number of degrees of crankshaft rotation. The Buick Nailhead V8s paired such relatively small diameter valves with long duration camshafts. Moreover, purposely using smaller valves so as to increase flow rates through the intake manifold and past the valves generates desirable turbulence in the combustion chamber. This enhances both exhaust gas scavenging and fuel/air homogeneity within the combustion chamber. That increases both efficiency and power. The vertical orientation of the valves also permitted a less restrictive transition from the intake manifold to cylinder heads than that in V8s where the valve stems were oriented so that their stems were perpendicular to the deck of the block. In the Nailheads the intake air/fuel mixture flowed directly into the combustion chamber without having to make a 90 degree bend in the process. Torque, not horsepower, is what gives you a sensation of power when you open the throttle from a standing start. And torque provides passing power at highway speeds. Torque allows an engine to move a heavy body and chassis. And torque is what makes an engine feel as if it is turning effortlessly and has much more power than it needs. The Buick Nailheads were designed to be Torque Engines. That fact is apparent in the nomenclature used for a classic Buick Nailhead Wildcat 445 used in the 1966 Buick Skylark GS muscle car. Ordinarily you would think that the designation 445 stood for 445 cubic inches. Not in this case. The displacement of the Wildcat 445 Nailhead was actually 401 cubic inches. It produced 340 horsepower. But the Nailhead developed a massive 445 pound feet of torque! The engine was proudly named for its torque output. The 1966 Buick Skylark GS Sportcoupe Power Pack mated to a 4-Speed Manual Gearbox did 0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds! That was damned fast…especially for a car that weighed in at 3,700 pounds! The Buick Nailhead V8s were designed around a different design theory than other contemporary American V8s. They were torque engines, rather than horsepower engines. 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible. Those spoke wheels (real ones) were factory installed equipment on that model. 1953 Buick Skylark 322 cubic inch Nailhead V8. Note the distinctive vertical Nailhead valve covers. The tall black cylinder at the front of the engine behind the belt driven pulley was the resevoir for the power steering unit. The glass bottle containing blue fluid back by the firewall was the windshield washer reservoir. The hemispheric metal object on the center of the firewall is the vacuum operated winshield wiper motor. Note the elongated 6-cap 12-volt battery indicating that this year had a 12-volt, rather than a 6-volt, electrical system.

Why do modern engines crackle and burble on the over-run?

The crackling and burbling I think you are refer to is due to the exhaust design. It is the sound of the rapidly condensing exhaust gasses cooling in the exhaust line. The pipe size of an exhaust exhaust must be optimized for a specific flow rate. This is usually at max RPM and max throttle for high-performance cars. But at idle, the size of the exhaust system is much too large to maintain a constant velocity of the gas for its entire length. This gives you a burbling sound as the exhaust stream has a push-pull effect: some exhaust is pushing out with flow of the engine, some is pulling back as it cools and contracts. Crackling is the same concept, except more extreme. It happens when you lift the throttle at mid and high RPMs. You have hotter, high velocity exhaust, suddenly followed by cooler, lower velocity gas. The pressure difference between the two crackles while the they equalize. It's a sound that never fails to put a smile on my face! While the sound and fury is really delightful, it's slightly inefficient because you lose the benefit of the momentum of the exhaust gas which helps escort new exhaust gasses out of the cylinder. This is because the gasses are slowing down as they travel down an exhaust system, burbling and popping and crackling like a boss. This conflict is solved (and crackling and burbling is eliminated -- boo!) when a control device is placed in the exhaust stream to reduce its size at lower RPMs. A common means is a flapper valve in the muffler. Here's an example on the center two outlets on a Corvette exhaust. Specifically, for the Lamborghini Guidaro, Lambotech2 states on the Lambopower Forum (,http://www.lambopower.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t35420.html,) Lamborghini Gallardo uses what they call kalvico sensors,named for the company who makes them,they are exhaust pressure sensors.There are two sensors, one per bank, there is a metal pipe like brake line from the catalytic converter to a silicone based hose feeding these sensors, they are hard to see on the gallardo. they are on a bracket attached to the top of transmission bellhousing with the variable intake solenoid that controls the intake manifold runners.thats how they monitor the exhaust system pressure. Here's an example of an exhuast valve on an aftermarket system for the Guiardo

What is the main function of an intake manifold?

The main function is to help create a specific torque curve the rest of the vehicle is optimized for. An intake manifold moves air from outside the engine to the cylinder head(s) where it meets the combustion chamber and exhaust. Fuel injectors sit on it and it’s where atomized fuel meets outside air to create an air fuel mixture. That’s what it does but the main function is to create an optimal torque curve that meets the requirements of the vehicle. It has runners or passages leading up to the cylinder head ports, the shape of those runners and the length from the top of the intake manifold to the cylinder head intake ports help determine what RPM an engine makes peak torque at. When combined with cylinder heads, cams, exhaust and gearing all setup to make peak torque around the same rpm the result is a high performance engine. A truck and a sports car might have the same engine design and cylinder heads but intake manifold and cams that make it have higher low end torque in the truck and peak torque at a higher rpm in the sports car with gearing to match. The port velocity and volume are major influences on engine performance and the air path through the engine starts at the intake manifold.

What is the velocity of air in air intake manifold of petrol engine?

Depends…if it is naturally aspirated speeds will be different and if it is turbo charged speeds will be different… you can find the speed by using CFD softwares.

Why do multiple carburetors seem to give more power than a single one?

My favorite pre-school toys were a Packard carburetor and a set of tools. Question: ,“Why do multiple carburetors seem to give more power than a single one?” On carbureted engines the size of the carburetor, that is the amount of air that will flow through it rated in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), must be appropriate not only for the engine’s displacement (in liters or cubic inches) but for the flow characteristics of its intake manifold, its camshaft, its valves and cylinder head, and its exhaust manifold or headers. Moreover, the flow characteristics of a piston engine will vary ,a lot ,depending upon the engine’s rpm. For example when you quickly opened the throttle from idle, on say a Chevy small block, the optimum carburetor for the desired high velocity fuel/air flow rate through the engine would be around 300 CFM. A larger carburetor would ,decrease ,the performance of the engine, as opening the throttle valve of a large CFM carb would cause the velocity of the air flow through the intake manifold and cylinder head to suddenly slow down. This drop in air/fuel velocity would cause the engine to bog down and would be felt as a dead spot in the car’s acceleration. This was a common problem for inexperienced hot rodders. Naively thinking “more is better”, they would bolt on a 900 or 1000 CFM Holley Double Pumper on a Chevy 327 cubic inch engine. The engine would be bog slow off the line. But at high RPM, with the flow rate high and the engine demanding fuel and air, a 300 CFM carburetor would be inadequate. Above 4,000 RPM the optimum sized carburetor might be around 900 CFM. One of the solutions was to install a single Spread Bore Four-Barrel Carburetor, optimally on a Dual Plane Intake Manifold. The Spread Bore had small primary bores which were used from idle up to mid-range RPM. These ensured that the flow rate through the heads did not drop when one quickly opened the throttle from idle. The larger throttle plates in the large Secondary Bores would open up when more air was needed at higher speeds. The opening of the Secondaries was controlled either by a mechanical linkage or, better, by vacuum controls. The Dual Plane Manifold additionally sent the fuel/air mixture from the primary and secondary carburetor bores along different paths optimizing performance at both low and high RPM. On large displacement engines Dual Spread Bore 4-Barrel Carbs were sometimes used. But one of the best arrangements used Three Two-Barrel Carburetors. This was known on Oldsmobiles as the J-2 Option, on the Pontiac and Chevrolet as Tri-Powers. GM used Rochester 2G Two-Barrel carbs on these. The center carburetor supplied fuel and air at idle and low and mid range operation. The throttle plates on the outer carburetors were opened on demand. This setup was difficult to tune as the airflow through the three carburetors had to be balanced, using air flow meters like that shown below, by adjusting the linkage for optimum performance. But, when properly tuned, these Triple Deuces, as they were called, allowed one to optimize performance at both high and low speeds. Another example of the MOPAR 440 6-Pack using three 2-Barrel Holley Carburetors, noted by Bosley Plourde. Note vacuum actuation for outer carburetors. The common after market choice for hot rodders was Three Two-Barrel Holleys on an Offenhauser or Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold.

What is the velocity of air inside the intake manifold of a single cylinder diesel engine?

This is a very general question. You haven’t mentioned anything about the engine specification. Intake manifold design is heavily depended on the engine configuration. The velocity can be calculated by a CFD simulation, without using a engine dynamo-meter. I did several of these simulations in ANSYS Fluent with the appropriate boundary conditions. Case-1: Case-2: This is the case of an intake manifold for an FSAE car with a 20 mm restrictor, for a single cylinder engine. With the help of these results, one can determine the velocity of air at any point of the intake manifold. Thanks Akshay,.

How big of a game changer was modern fuel injection in the car industry? Do you miss the days of the carburetor?

The carburetor is a quadratic peg in a linear hole. Carburetors use the ,Venturi effect - Wikipedia, that increases with the square of velocity to pull fuel into the air entering the intake manifold, but air flow has a linear relation to velocity. Parabola approximating straight line. Even engineers had to be embarrassed about the way that the standard automotive carburetor approximates the need for fuel and injects it into the intake manifold.* see comment below Still the carburetor got the world into the automotive age, is mentioned in many songs from the 50’s and ‘60’s and was for a time truly sexy. Many thanks to Brandon Decker, see his comment below, for remembering the Beach Boys fuel injected Sting Ray and his complete explanation of the carb glitch that plagued street hotrods in the 60’s. This would have been hotter than Sophia Loren for young lads in 1960, even if you were Italian. It took complicated add-ons and engineering to give a respectable air fuel mixture over a wide range of conditions. Then along came microprocessors, solid state sensors and solid state injectors. Voila, put a sensor on everything; temperatures, speeds air flow to 3 digit accuracy. There is no reason to use a carburetor which would need a couple of thousand dollars of engineering and mechanical parts that will wear out. EFI and you get spot on accuracy, microsecond variation, pressure injection giving you perfectly volatilized fuel and stratified charges. I miss the Holley Calendars but after graduating from UCSD with a BA in Math I was very fortunate having bought my first car, a new 1972 SAAB 99E. Other than a leaking injector, fixed under warranty - yes injection like carbs can leak, it gave perfect service starting and idling when cold which no Detroit car could do at that time. You had to keep a carbureted car well 1,000 RPM till warm to keep it going. Driving in the morning in San Francisco was interesting because every car stalled at stop signs. *the modeling of fuel flow through a very small orifice is much more complicated than what I allege; with turbulence, surface tension, non-perfect liquid behavior, momentum and stuff known only to sharp engineers it took one kluge (,Miss Shilling's orifice - Wikipedia, has the best name from the view point of 20 yo males who are most enthralled by motors) after another to optimize the carb performance. Toss in direct injection, stratified charge, millisecond precision and much better atomization EFI wins in no contest. The flexibility of a computerized system is undeniable, ask the VW engineers who my have time on their hands due to criminal prosecution for utilizing that flexibility to dodge emissions testing.

What is tumble flow and what are its effects in combustion in IC engine?

Before getting into your question directly, Let me explain Turbulence in IC Engines.. What is Turbulence? Due to high velocities involved, all flows into, out of and within the cylinders are ,Turbulent,. Turbulence can be defined as the random motion of fluid particles in the fluid flow, but vortex generation in the combustion chamber is the rotational movement of air will be helpful in providing proper mixing of air and fuel than the other turbulence motion. The exception to this are those flows in the corners and small crevices of the combustion chamber, where the close proximity of the walls dampens out the turbulence. Turbulence in a cylinder is high during intake and decreases as the low rate slows near BDC. The high turbulence near TDC when ignition occurs is very desirable for combustion. It breaks up and spreads the flame front many times faster. Turbulence in IC engines is mainly due to Swirl, Squish and Tumble. Swirl : ,Swirl is defined as the large scale vortex in the in-cylinder fluid with the axis of rotation parallel to the cylinder axis. Swirl can be generated by constructing the intake system to give a tangential component to the intake flow as it enters the cylinder. This is done by shaping and contouring intake manifolds, valve ports and piston faces. 2., Squish: ,The radially inward or transverse gas motion that occurs towards the end of compression stroke when the portion of the piston face and cylinder head approach each other closely is called ,Squish. It manifests in getting the gas displaced into the combustion chamber(space). Now getting into your question, 3. ,Tumble: ,As the piston reaches TDC, the squish motion generates a secondary flow called tumble, where the rotation occurs about a circumferential axis near the outer edge of the cavity or piston bowl. The necessity of tumble motion is to increase the turbulence level which favours proper and quick mixing of fresh charge which leads to effective combustion with reduced emission. Generating a significant vortex flows in an IC engine cylinder during the intake process generates high turbulence intensity during the later stage of compression stroke. The in-cylinder tumble flows are very much dependent on the shape of the piston surface, location of the piston cavity, orientation of the intake manifold, compression ratio, engine speed etc. Tumble is also known as barrel-swirl. Multi chamber on piston crown induces squish and tumble which enhances the combustion, due to better combustion emission characteristics has been decreased at the cost the cost of performance. The introduction of tumble into the combustion chamber is an effective method of enhancing turbulence intensity prior to ignition, thereby accelerating the burn rates, stabilizing the combustion, and extending the dilution limit. As the engine speed increases flow rate increases with a corresponding increase in swirl, squish and tumble. This increase the rate of fuel evaporation, mixing of fuel vapor and air, and combustion. Air-fuel is consumed within a short time, hence knocking is reduced.
