Formula Student Car (FS) is an international race car design competition for students at universities of applied sciences and technical universities. The winning team is not the one that produces the fastest racing car, but the group that achieves the highest overall score in design, racing performance. The arrangement of internal components for example, predicting aerodynamics of the air intake system is crucial to optimizing car performance as speed changes. The air intake system consists of an inlet nozzle, throttle, restrictor, air box and cylinder suction pipes (runners). The paper deals with the use of CFD numerical simulations during the design and optimization of components. In this research article, two main steps are illustrated to develop carefully the design of the air box and match it with the suction pipe lengths to optimize torque over the entire range of operating speeds. Also the current intake system was assessed acoustically and simulated by means of 1-D gas dynamics using the software AVL-Boost. In this manner, before a new prototype intake manifold is built, the designer can save a substantial amount of time and resources. The results illustrate the improvement of simulation quality using the new models compared to the previous AVL-Boost models

This article describes the power train design specifics in Formula student race vehicles used in the famed SAE India championship. To facilitate the physical validation of the design of the power train system of a formula student race car category vehicle engine of 610 cc displacement bike engine (KTM 390 model), a detailed design has been proposed with an approach of easing manufacturing and assembly along with full-scale prototype manufacturing. Many procedures must be followed while selecting a power train, such as engine displacement, fuel type, cooling type, throttle actuation, and creating the gear system to obtain the needed power and torque under various loading situations. Keeping the rules in mind, a well-suited engine was selected for the race track and transmission train was selected which gives the maximum performance. Based on the requirement, a power train was designed with all considerations we need to follow. Aside from torque and power, we designed an air intake with fuel efficiency in mind. Wireless sensors and cloud computing were used to monitor transmission characteristics such as transmission temperature management and vibration. The current study describes the design of an air intake manifold with a maximum restrictor diameter of 20 mm.

The development of motor vehicle technology has urgency of increasing the efficiency for the engine of fuel requirements that will be used in the combustion process to produce output parameters. One of the elements for an effective combustion process for the fuel mixture composition is the quantity and the air capacity to be supplied for each cylinder. The construction of intake manifold is one of minor losses for requirement capacity of air when intake suction take occured. The addition of Axial Fan in the intake manifold system of diesel motors is expected to meet the air supply capacity and minimize minor losses, so the performance engine like :  volumetric efficiency, torque and power increased.

Abstract A multidimensional computational fluid dynamics (CED) method has been used to improve the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) distribution in the intake manifold. Since gas flow in the intake system is affected by intake pulsation caused by the gas exchange process, a pulsation flow simulation is used. A one-dimensional gas exchange calculation is combined with three-dimensional intake gas flow to simulate pulsation flow. This pulsation flow simulation makes it possible to predict the EGR distribution. The gas flow in the intake system was analyzed in detail. It was found that a reverse flow region formed downstream of the throttle valve. The size and shape of the reverse flow region greatly depend on the engine operating conditions. With a conventional EGR system, it is difficult to distribute EGR uniformly under various engine operating conditions. A new EGR system that uses a spiral flow to mix the fresh air and EGR gas has been developed to obtain a uniform EGR distribution. As a result of adopting this system, a uniform EGR distribution is obtained regardless of the engine operating conditions. This spiral flow EGR system was applied to a low-emission vehicle (LEV) put on the Japanese market.

Devices for reducing environmental pollutant emissions are being installed in ship compression ignition (CI) engines; alternatively, the designs of intake and exhaust pipes and ports are being modified to tune the performance according to the user’s needs. In both cases, substantial computation time and cost are required to simulate the gas flow of the CI engine with an air-intake system. In order to simulate the air-intake system of the CI engine, which changes according to the user’s needs, at a low cost and in a short time, we aimed to analyze the gas flow using a 1D–3D coupled method. The 1D zone was analyzed using the method of characteristics, and the 3D zone was analyzed using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code Ansys Fluent R15.0, whereas their coupling was achieved by applying the developed 1D–3D coupling algorithm to Ansys Fluent R15.0 using user-defined functions (UDFs). In the comparison of the pressure of the intake pipe with the experimental result, the average error was 0.58%, thereby validating the approach. In addition, when analyzing the intake pipe and port in a 3D zone, the results of the velocity and pressure were expressed as contours, allowing them to be visualized. It is expected that the 1D–3D coupling algorithm of the air-intake system can be used to reflect the user’s needs and can be used as a method to quickly and accurately calculate the gas flow within tens of minutes.

Fuel price crisis has caused people to demand a car that is having a low fuel consumption without compromising the engine performance. Designing a naturally aspirated engine which can enhance engine performance and fuel efficiency requires optimisation processes on air intake system components. Hence, this study intends to carry out the optimisation process on the air intake system and airbox geometry. The parameters that have high influence on the design of an airbox geometry was determined by using AVL Boost software which simulated the automobile engine. The optimisation of the parameters was done by using Design Expert which adopted the Box-Behnken analysis technique. The result that was obtained from the study are optimised diameter of inlet/snorkel, volume of airbox, diameter of throttle body and length of intake runner are 81.07 mm, 1.04 L, 44.63 mm and 425 mm, respectively. By using these parameters values, the maximum engine performance and minimum fuel consumption are 93.3732 Nm and 21.3695×10-4 kg/s, respectively. This study has fully accomplished its aim to determine the significant parameters that influenced the performance of airbox and optimised the parameters so that a high engine performance and fuel efficiency can be produced. The success of this study can contribute to a better design of an airbox.
