Fuel injectors can be mounted: by the intake valves of each cylinder (multipoint port injection), at the inlet of the manifold (throttle body injection), or in the cylinder head (CI engines and modern two-stroke cycle and some four-stroke cycle SI automobile engines) Intake System Intake Manifold The intake manifold is a system designed to deliver ______ to the engine through pipes to each cylinder, called runners. The inside diameter of the runners must be large enough to avoid: High flow resistance low volumetric efficiency. On the other hand, the diameter must be small enough to assure high ______ velocity and turbulence, which enhances its capability of carrying fuel droplets and increases evaporation and ______-fuel mixing Intake System Intake Manifold Some engines have active intake manifolds with the capability of changing runner length and diameter for different engine speeds. At low speeds, the ______ is directed through longer, smaller diameter runners to keep the velocity high and to assure proper mixing of ______ and fuel. At high engine speeds, shorter, larger diameter runners are used, which minimizes flow resistance but still enhances proper mixing. The amount of ______ and fuel in on

Study Notes
Intake Manifold Function
- Delivers air and fuel mixture to the engine through runners to each cylinder.
- Runners connect the manifold to the intake valves, facilitating the air-fuel mixture flow.
Fuel Injector Placement
- Fuel injectors can be mounted near intake valves (multipoint port injection).
- Options include throttle body injection at the manifold's inlet or directly in the cylinder head for certain engines.
Purpose of Active Intake Manifolds
- Designed to adjust runner length and diameter based on engine speed.
- At low speeds, utilizes longer, narrower runners to maintain high velocity and enhance fuel mixing.
- At high speeds, employs shorter, wider runners to reduce flow resistance while promoting effective mixing.
Importance of Runner Diameter
- Must be sufficiently large to prevent high flow resistance and low volumetric efficiency.
- Diameter must facilitate high air velocity and turbulence, crucial for effective fuel droplet transport and evaporation.
Runner Behavior at High Engine Speeds
- Diameter increases in active intake manifolds to accommodate higher flow rates and minimize resistance while still ensuring effective fuel-air mixing.
