Primary & Secondary Induction Systems
• The prime system responsible for flow of air is called as primary system.
• The remaining part of the system, which is not actively feed the cylinder is called as secondary system.
Effective Inductance
• The EFFECTIVE INDUCTANCE for a pipe with different cross-sections may be defined as the sum of inductances of each section.

• The CAPACITANCE RATIO (b) is defined as the ratio of the Secondary Volume to the Primary Volume.
The INDUCTANCE RATIO (a) is defined as the ratio of the secondary inductance to the primary inductance.

Stages of Valve Lifting
when the inlet valve opens, a rarefaction wave is sent upstream from the valve. When this wave encounters a change in area such as the intake manifold, a compression wave is generated and sent downstream back to the inlet valve. This compression wave increases the local density of the inlet flow, a process called the "ram effect".
Pseudo Flow Velocity
• Pseudo Flow Velocity is a parameter to study the effect of valve geometry and the rate change of cylinder volume on air flow into cylinder.
• PFV is the ratio of rate of change of cylinder volume to instantaneous minimum valve flow area.

Strategies to Maximize Intake Air Quantity
• Most decent heads will have an equivalent flow through the valve area as a unrestricted port of about 80% of the valve area, this is if the camshaft it matched to the heads.
• Some well ported race heads may have an actual flow of an area up to 85%, but for the most part it is around 78-80%.
• To further help fill the cylinder, it helps to have a high velocity at the back of the valve.
• To do this the intake port can be tapered.
• To be effective, there should be between 1.7 and 2.5% increase in intake runner area per inch of runner, which represents a 1-1.5 degree taper.
