CFD Analysis of Air Intake Manifold System to Improve Efficiency of Formula SAE Car
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
This research paper aims at designing and developing an air intake manifold to be used in FSAE competitions. According to the rule imposed by the FSAE committee, a 20 mm restrictor should be a part of the intake manifold through which only the engine breaths in air for combustion. This rule is imposed to reduce the maximum power produced by an engine. This paper is documented as an introduction on how to design and fabricate an air intake manifold according to FSAE norms. Software tools used designing and developing an air intake manifold are Solidworks (for CADD modeling), Solidworks Flow Simulation (for flow analysis), RICARDO WAVE (for engine simulation). The results from CFD analysis and RICARDO are compared to find the most suitable design of IM for deriving maximum engine performance. The complete study and research of the IM here is done in accordance to the need of a KTM RC390 engine.
