Designing Validating a New Intake Manifold for a Formula SAE Car

Abstract

This paper gives the importance of the intake system in a car and how it affects the performance of the car, designs and then validates a new intake system by computational & analytical analysis used by the Formula SAE Car of Daksh Racing Team, which participated in FSAE Italy2010. The new air intake system was developed according to the rules of formula student competition, which requires a restriction of 20mm to be placed before the air intake system with all engine airflow passing through the restrictor. The major results obtained are discussed and listed.
