The main purpose of the project is to increase the

efficiency and enhance performance of CI engine
The air flow inside the engine is an important factor
deciding the overall performance of the engine
Hence the air swirl is increased in order to obtain the
results.
The project involves modification in inlet-manifold
design to increase the air swirl and turbulence

Understanding the different powers of engine and

there relations with each other.
Understanding the different efficiencies of the
engines and necessity of their calculation.
Recalling mentally activities of conducting trial.
Tabulating necessary observations
Comparing results.

Turbulence is random motion and swirl is orderly

movement of air
Atomization is the breaking of fuel jet into fine spray
under high pressure
Turbulence ensures uniform fuel distribution and
combustion
Initial turbulence is created in piston heads with
modification in manifold and piston shapes designs.

Swirl is obtained in the intake manifold by using

internal threads of constant pitch
Intake manifold is also inclined to different positions.

Uniform

combustion at all regions

Complete combustion of charge hence reduced
harmful emissions
Burn time is reduced
It is seen that the jet of air after leaving the
intake port impinges onto the cylinder wall and
diverts back causing the formation of small and
large vertices within the cylinder

Indicated power: the power developed in the cylinder

Frictional power: power req. to overcome the friction
between all sliding parts
Mechanical efficiency: ratio of brake power to indicated
power
Brake thermal efficiency: ratio of brake power to heat
supplied
Indicated thermal efficiency: ratio of indicated power to
heat supplied

In cylinder flow structure is greatly influenced

by intake manifold inclination
It is found that at 60 degree intake manifold
gives maximum brake thermal efficiency.
This work improves both performance and fuel
economy.
By varying manifold inclination we get better
performance than normal one.
