Abstract:- The performance of an Internal combustion engine is highly determined by the inlet air conditions and air fuel ratio .This paper shall discuss about the role of intake manifold in governing the inlet conditions during the air suction ,the design of intake manifold ,optimization of parameters of design, changing the inlet conditions and predicting the final results. The design and optimization include qualitative use of ANSYS FLUENT for the simulation purpose and predicting the flow properties.

1. INTRODUCTION

Intake manifold is a component of engine which governs the inlet air flow conditions of the engine. Air enters through the intake manifold comprising of different components and then through a throttle body(in gasoline engines) it enters the engine during the suction stroke .The amount of air entering the engine greatly determines its performance including its volumetric efficiency

,Brake mean effective pressure ,horsepower and specific air fuel consumption.
