ASSIGNMENT 05
(Computational Fluid Dynamic Application, Submission on 17th May 2019 )

According to Wikipedia of manifold description,

In most production engines, the manifold is an assembly
designed to collect the exhaust gas from two or more
cylinders into one pipe. Manifolds are often made of cast
iron in stock production cars, and may have material-saving
design features such as to use the least metal, to occupy the
least space necessary, or have the lowest production cost.
These design restrictions often result in a design that is cost
effective but that does not do the most efficient job of

venting the gases from the engine. Inefficiencies generally
occur due to the nature of the combustion engine and its cylinders. Since cylinders fire at different times,
exhaust leaves them at different times, and pressure waves from gas emerging from one cylinder might not
be completely vacated through the exhaust system when another comes. This creates a back pressure and
restriction in the engine's exhaust system that can restrict the engine's true performance possibilities.

Objective
Computer aided engineering tools are applied to carry out the manifold design performance prediction,
where the thermal stress is concerned. There are three (03) material applicants:
i. Gray cast iron
ii. Stainless Steel AISI 316L
iii. Cast Carbon Steel

Identification of suitable material applicant base on:

i. Smallest factor safety but must be larger than 1.5 with material Tensile Strength property (ductile
material) is referred; and
ii. Light weight.

A complete computational report is expected.

Boundary Condition
The manifold operation boundary condition is described in Figure 2. There are three set of boundary
condition parameters and listed in Table 1 below.

The manifold outlet is assumed as atmospheric pressure condition, where Patm= 101.3 kPa at temperature
of 30oC. In carrying out the computational prediction as ‘water tight’ condition, dummy lids are required
to assemble the manifold model.
