Summary:

In reciprocating IC engines, very precise predictions of the mass of air inducted are required in order to improve both manifold design and fuel injection control. To achieve this goal, a deeper knowledge of the boundary conditions on intake and exhaust manifolds must be obtained, and a set of very accurate experimental data is needed to perform model validation.In this paper an experimental activity is reported, which has been performed on a pipe test-rig which guarantees high reproducibility of the fluid-dynamic transients. Based on the obtained data, the authors validated a modified non-isentropic version of the method of characteristics, specifically conceived for the simulation of varying area engine manifolds
