This paper focuses on experimentalstudies of intake port of a four cylinder diesel engine for different vacuum pressures and valve lift positions. In this study, the cylinder head is experimented through a paddle wheel flow setup, which gives the flow coefficient and swirl number asoutput. Main scope of the work is to understand the flow behaviour through the intake port and finally to determine mean flow coefficient and mean swirl number for different valve lift ratios L/D, where L is valve lift and D is bore diameter.
