Implementation of Rapid Prototyping for Optimisation of Intake System in a Powertrain of Formula Student Vehicle

Abstract

The Air intake system For a Formula Student car is done for cutting edge performance of car with satisfying all Rules set by FSAE for the competition. The intake system designed for high torque figures and stable torque plateau. Designing of any intake system requires great applicative knowledge in engineering. For designing intake lot of parameters were considered to setup Engine simulation model and according to that Validations are done. Different intakes were designed in Solidworks and were introduced in Ricardo wave and outputs were checked. ANSYS Fluent feature provides you the Boundary layers and Mass flow through the intake. When the simulation results were satisfying the material selection is done on the basis of ANSYS static structural.
