Manifold (fluid mechanics)







Industrial manifold


A manifold is a wide and/or bigger pipe, or channel, into which smaller pipes or channels lead.[1]



Manifolds


Types of manifolds in engineering include:




  • Exhaust manifold, an engine part which collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Also known as headers.


  • Hydraulic manifold, a component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps


  • Inlet manifold or "intake manifold", an engine part which supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders


  • Manifold (scuba), in a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders


  • Vacuum gas manifold, an apparatus used in chemistry to manipulate gases

  • Many dredge pipe pieces


In biology manifolds are found in:




  • Cardiovascular system - blood vessel manifolds etc.

  • Lymphatic system

  • Respiratory system


Manifolds are used in:


  • Pipe organ
