Abstract

This investigation is conducted to study the characteristic of the helical intake manifold for the 4-stroke gasoline engine. The helical port geometry for this intake manifold is designed to get a more homogeneous mixture in the engine in which this can be done by making swirling flow from the end of the intake port. In addition, the helical port also has a positive impact on the engine performance. From this study, it is found that the helical port left is more dominant in the performance of torque, power, combustion ratio), air fuel ratio, volumetric and thermal efficiency. However, the lowest emission level for this experiment is produced by helical port right.
