Abstract
The exhaust manifold is the first part of the vehicle’s exhaust system. It is connected to the engine exhaust and receives the burnt gases. A maximum exhaust gas temperature will be found in the exhaust manifold is of 〖850〗^0 C. Due to this crack on the exhaust manifold initiates. This is because of the thickness and the material used. Hence in this project, the material selected for the exhaust manifold is cast iron as it can withstand high temperature and study on different thickness were made. The exhaust manifold system is modelled using Solidworks software. Then the geometric model is discretized using tetrahedral elements and analysis were performed using Hypermesh software. Here the Modal, Heat Transfer and Thermal Fatigue analysis is performed. In this project, the focus is on to study the Thermal behavior of exhaust manifold by varying thickness of the material considered.
