2. DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF
INTAKE MANIFOLD & FUEL SYSTEM
Project Aim:
To design, analyze, manufacture and physically test Intake Manifold & Fuel System for Formula Style
Race Car
Project Goals:
To improve engine performance through dynamometer testing and on-track testing
To reduce overall weight, make a reliable and efficient system
To ensure that it can be easily manufactured, easy replacement and indigenize parts to lower cost.
To conduct data acquisition for future use.
Software Used:
Designing: CATIA, Solidworks, AutoCAD
Analysis: ANSYS Mechanical & Fluent, Ricardo WAVE
3. DESIGN DECISION REASON
Material : Utem,
Durfaform
Easy availability, cheap and good
machinability
Basic shape
Convergent-Divergent type nozzle
ID:35mm
Throat Diar:20mm
OD:56mm
Convergent length:55mm
Divergent Length:175mm
Analysis techniques:
Analysis was conducted in fluent with a
target to achieve maximum static pressure
and reduce turbulence.
Manufacturing Fused Deposition Modeling, 3D Printing
DESIGN DECISION REASON
Material : Utem, Duraform
The material is selected as it can be
readily used for rapid prototyping
Basic shape
The intake runners were curved to
create a more compact system and
to clear the rules for the new
chassis.
The injector housing was integrated
into the runners for further space
optimization.
Manufacturing Fused Deposition Modeling
DESIGN DECISION REASON
Material : Utem
The material is selected as it can be readily used for
rapid prototyping.
Basic shape
Log type plenum with tangential entry to conserve
momentum.
Plenum Volume of 2.8L increased from 2.4L to reduce
starvation.
Flush type bell mouths to reduce formation of vacuum
pockets and increase air flow to engine cylinders.
Analysis techniques
Based on throttle response. In the initial design a
throttle change of 10% led to starvation, so volume was
changed so as to avoid starvation and maintain throttle
response.
Manufacturing It will be manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling.

8. DESIGN AND ANALYSIS (FEA) OF A PLANETARY GEARBOX
Project Aim:
To Design Model and Analyze by varying different Gear Designing Variables for Epicyclic gear train (with
all its components) for a particular power input and material.
Software Used:
Designing: CATIA, Solidworks
Analysis: ANSYS Mechanical, MATLAB
Design Approach:
Dimensions of the Sun, Ring & Planet gears, input and output power shaft were calculated.
Load calculations were done on MATLAB software using Lewis equation & other gear designing
equations so that the system has sufficient strength to avoid failure under static or dynamic loading
during normal running conditions.
Material for the Gears:
9. Design Approach (2nd Method):
Using almost design method but different Parameters equations, six points are
calculated. (Refer bottom images shows final sketch generated using these
equations and points).
