Carburetor plays a crucial role in SI engine performance which supplies correct mixture of fuel air at theright time. One of the important factors that affect the fuel consumption is the design of the carburetor. The throat of thecarburetor provides required pressure drop in the venturi tube of the carburetor device. Currently, alternative fuels likeLPG, CNG, etc. are gaining attention all over the world because of their ecofriendly nature. So the design of thecarburetor is important. To get a better economy and uniform distribution of fuel air mixture, it required to design thecarburetor with an effective analytical tool or software. In this work, CFD (Ansys) analysis was carried out on a simplecarburetor to find pressure drop and velocity profile for different throttle valve angle and fuel discharge nozzle angle.The results obtained from the analysis are analyzed for optimum design of a carburetor.
