Product Design - Product Generation and Business Planning

by Andrew Greaney

Most product design books are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around product design centered around the engineering industry, but practices used throughout are still very relevant throughout all sectors of product design. The product The product being designed in question is an exhaust manifold to be coupled with an already existing turbocharger to a custom Kawasaki ZX9 motorbike engine. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind product design specification, reviewing the system the product will be applied to, testing methods, market research and safety standards, product system design and more. Subjects explored include exhaust manifold geometry, characteristics of a turbocharged engine, exhaust gas re-circulation systems, materials & manufacturing processes, computer aided design simulations, engine simulations, flow bench testing, road regulations, concept design & development, functional analysis, system adaption, computation fluid dynamics simulation, FEA simulation, sustainability, business evaluation, along with many more in depth subjects. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering engine inlet manifolds!
