The exhaust manifold is an essential component of an engine, which has become increasingly important because of innovations in the industry. Thus, the efficiency of an exhaust manifold is a key factor in overall engine efficiency. In operating conditions, there are many factors that may influence the performance of an exhaust manifold, such as temperature, pressure, wall thickness, coolant velocity, etc. A manufacturer of diesel engine’s exhaust manifolds was interested in investigating the performance of its manifolds. This paper describes the method of analysis and results obtained by Fluent and ANSYS software. The purpose of the project is to analyze the stress distribution and locate the areas most prone to failure.
