Abstract: A turbine connector (40) in an engine exhaust manifold (30) includes a turbine foot (54) attached to incoming exhaust conduits (42,46). The turbine foot (54) has an outer perimetric edge (72) defining a trapezoidal shape, and inner perimetric edges (86,90) forming exhaust outlets (88,92) from the incoming exhaust conduits (42,46). The inner perimetric edges (86,90) have varied perimetric curvatures largest in finite curvature size upon a web (94) extending between the exhaust outlets (88,92), and together forming an hourglass web profile in a turbine-mounting plane defined by the turbine foot (54).

Abstract: An exhaust system for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust pipe, and a vane mixer attached to an upstream pipe end of the exhaust pipe and including a fluid injector mount, and a fluid injection side port in the injector mount and fluidly connected to an exhaust passage in the vane mixer. The vane mixer further includes a vane extending across the exhaust passage and dividing the exhaust passage into a major flow area and a minor flow area. The minor flow area is in overlapping angular alignment, circumferentially around a longitudinal exhaust passage axis, with the fluid injection side port.
