CFD Analysis of a Gasoline Engine Exhaust Pipe

Pengyun Xu, Haiyong Jiang and Xiaoshun Zhao

The exhaust pipe is an important part of gasoline engine. Its structure and performance have a direct impact on the engine power, economy and emissions, and it is one of the key technologies of multi valve engine development. In or-der to test the theoretical design of a 1.5 L gasoline engine exhaust pipe, Solidworks Flow simulation was used to analyze the exhaust pipe. Pressure and velocity of the position near the three-way catalytic converter and the oxygen sensor were selective analyzed. CFD Simulation results show that the internal flow is laminar flow state, and the sensor position is reasonable. The design is reasonable, and can achieve the design goal.
