Abstract: In the present work, a sectional model of the exhaust manifold has been studied to reduce the heat loss by insulating the pipe with different insulating materials. Four different insulating materials were used to increase the thermal resistance of the exhaust manifold so that there would be less heat loss in the manifold. The model with the insulating materials was modeled and discretized. The thermal and structural properties have been assigned to the discretized model and processed for analysis. The heat flux from the exhaust gas is taken as input to the analysis model. Heat loss and temperature difference were taken as output. From the present analysis, it can be said that by using these four materials, the heat loss through the exhaust manifold will be reduced.

Keywords: Exhaust Manifold, Glass Wool, Plastic foam, Silica, PUF, Thermal resistance, Heat flux.
