Abstract: The Internal combustion engine is one of the widely used mechanical system. The primary aspect of all types of engines is the amount of power produced which, is affected by the complete combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. The objective of this present work is to outline the improved performance of single-cylinder Compression Ignition engine with the aid of geometrical modifications of Inlet manifold. The Study is performed on Kirlosakr CI engine. For modeling of engine assembly, CATIA V5 Software has been used. The Numerical simulations are performed with Ansys 14.5 and solver used as CFX. In this work, two different engine models such as Conventional valve and Modified valve with plate is being considered for CFD analysis. The simulation study of air flow motion with a valve lift of 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm is performed for both valve configurations. This numerical analysis aims to maximize the air velocity in the inlet valve with minimum turbulence which in turn improves the engine performance. The study is performed on the single cylinder four-stroke variable compression ratio diesel engines. In the present study, the air flow motion inside the intake manifold of an engine is simulated and investigations are performed by considering the six conditions of the intake valve. The results obtained acts as a basis for further investigation of a variety of valve geometry.
