Abstract

Engine is one of the important parts in vehicle. Nowdays, there are so many types of engine that are available and used in vehicles in the market. Normally, the performance of engine is depending on the technology that applied and its design concept. One of the components that effect the performance of engine is the intake manifold. This study focuses on design and material analysis that used on existing intake manifold for Proton Wira 1.6 XLi. From the analysis, the new and better design and material will be proposed and the result also will be showed in this report. The design of intake manifold will be analyzed by using 2 main software which are Computer-Aided Design, CAD – SolidWorks, and Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD. SolidWorks software is used to show the design of existing and proposed intake manifolds from this study. From the drawing, CFD software will be used to analyze the pattern of air flow in intake manifold. From the analysis done, proposed 6 are the best design has been chosen for the improvement of the intake manifold. This is due to the designed curve of the primary pipe are reduced and that will reflect to the flow in the manifold distribution equally for each primary pipe. This project also to identify the new material should be used for the intake manifold. Plastic PA type 6 (15% glass fibre) has been proposed for the material due to it light weight compared to aluminum. Therefore, this project showed that the design of the primary pipes and material of the intake manifold play an important role to the engine performance.
