Abstract: The air-fuel mixture is the important source in engine combustion, the transfer of air-fuel mixture is done by intake manifold in the intake system of the automobile. So due to improving the efficiency of the engine most of the automobile manufacturing industry is mainly focused on the intake manifold design for better performance. This project investigates about flow analysis taken in the different cross-section of an intake manifold. The main goal of our work is to change the cross-section of the intake manifold and analysis the model. In this paper, the manifold is designed by considering two different cross-section one is the circular outlet and the other is the convergent-divergent outlet and the created model is analyzed. The flow analysis is carried by using CFD and the values are compared and the best cross-section is concluded. The manifold with a convergent-divergent outlet has high velocity when compared with the circular outlet. The intake manifold can be used in automobile industries.
