EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON TWO- DIMENSIONAL UNSTEADY COLD FLOW IN MPC EXHAUST MANIFOLD

The gas flow in exhaust manifolds has much effect on scavenge, pumping loss and exhaust energy utilization of turbocharged diesel engines. This paper presented experimental investigation on two dimensional unsteady flow in MPC(modular pulse converter) exhaust manifold model. The pressure and velocity distributions in six sections of the manifold model were measured when the diesel engine was motored. The probe with slitted sleeve was used to determine flow direction. The experimental results show that velocity distributions vary with place and time; the pressure traces at different points of the same section are not different obviously.
