Sanjay Bhokare Group of Institutes, Miraj, (MS). S. S. Gawade Professor, Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar, Islampur, ( MS). The improvement of flow strategy is implemented in the intake system of the engine to produce better biogas engine performance. The intake system for air-fuel mixture is studied, designed, simulated and analyzed with ANSYS-CFX and CFD-Post code. The components: the venturi and its outer body are installed to produce pressurized turbulent flow with higher fuel volume in the intake system, which is ideal condition for biogas fuelled engine. A venturi-inlet holes mixer with three variables: number of inlet holes (4, 8 and 16); hole diameter (3, 2 and 1.5 mm) and the inlet angles (300 , 250 and 200 ) are studied. In this study it...
