Your intake manifold. It takes in air and sends it to your engine's combustion chamber. This is basically the start of the combustion process. After all, you can't have combustion without air.

Dublin, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Automotive Variable Intake Air Control Valves - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market ...

Something I've been kicking around for a while, and wanted to get opinions on: Is there a reason we can't use variable intake valve timing to "optimize" engine operation for E85 operation, while still ...

Engineers put a lot of hours into making the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel a segment leader in EPA-estimated highway mileage. And one of the tricks they used to get there was something ...

While variable geometry engine air intakes were banned from Formula 1 in 2006, only to become legal again later on, you can find this technology in many road cars today. Typically, it goes by the term ...

Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines. When you break it down, they are nothing more than air pumps. When it comes to making horsepower and torque, the simple fact is the more air you ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 105, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1996), pp. 2490-2497 (8 pages) This paper presents a numerical study on a racing engine with variable intake and exhaust geometry and valve ...

When it comes to the many variables of combustion inside an engine, engineers measure the timing of key events in degrees of crankshaft rotation, a relative frame of reference that remains constant ...

Resources fluctuate in space and time, and animals routinely experience temporally varying opportunities for resource intake, and variation in intake itself. We investigate consequences of such ...
