This paper describes the design differences between the intake manifold and restrictor used in racing cars that participate in the Formula Student (FSAE) competition. To fulfil the criteria of rules and regulation of the race, each race car must have a restriction device that has a maximum diameter of 20 mm installed between the throttle body and intake manifold. To overcome these problems, a restrictor has been designed and analysed using the steady state analysis, to reduce the loss of pressure in the restrictor. Design of the restrictor has a fixed parameter of the maximum diameter of 20mm. There are some differences that have been taken to make the comparison between the design of the restrictor, the diameter of the inlet and outlet, the curvature of the surface, convergence and divergence angle and length of the restrictor. Intake manifold was designed based on the design of the chassis, which shall not exceed the envelope defined by the FSAE competition. A good intake manifold design will affect the performance of the engine. Each design have made an analysis designed to ensure that each cylinder engine gets its air evenly. To verify the design, steady state analysis was made for a total mass flow rate and the velocity of air leaving a runner in each engine. Data such as the engine MAP reading was recorded by using Haltech ECU Management Software as reference purposes.

Thermal and Static Properties Investigation of Different Intake Manifold Materials to Lower Air Intake Temperature for Improved Engine Performance

Formula SAE competition is targeted at students who are interested in designing and developing a Formula-type race car. Rules were imposed to restrict the car’s performance for safety besides encouraging problem-solving skills. One such rule is the requirement of a 20mm restrictor inserted between the carburettor and intake manifold to reduce the air intake. With a constricted airflow creating a bottleneck effect, less air will be provided to the engine for combustion, consequently reducing engine efficiency. The purpose of this project is to overcome this problem despite the restriction imposed by the rules. This is done by choosing an intake manifold material that provides a low air temperature while withstanding the stress and vibrations from the engine. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software was used to conduct the static, thermal and modal analysis of Aluminium Alloy 6063, Gray Cast Iron, Fibreglass Epoxy and Carbon Fibre Epoxy to choose the material that produces lower intake air temperature while maintaining high strength. Carbon fibre epoxy was found to provide the best durability against static stress while maintaining a lower intake air temperature compared to the other materials tested.

Replacing synthetic fibres with natural fibres as reinforcement fillers in natural rubber (NR) tends to yield eco-friendly bio-composites. This study investigated the tensile and hardness properties, and the thermal behaviour of pineapple leaf fibre (PALF)-reinforced NR composites with and without the addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The fibre content was varied at 0, 10, 20, and 30 parts per hundred rubber (phr) and the MWCNT content was fixed at 10 phr. The surface morphology of the tensile-fractured specimens was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify the rubber-matrix adhesion and tear mechanisms of the fibres in the NR matrix. The results revealed that including the PALF and MWCNT allowed the NR composites to exhibit excellent stretching stress at low elongations. Additionally, the composites displayed enhanced stiffness, further increasing the hardness of the composite, ranging from 46.8 to 62.8 Shore A. However, PALF reduces the thermal stability of the composite, where the initial degradation temperature increases. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the residues remaining in the NR composites ranged from 6 to 13% at various fibre loadings. Therefore, this study provides valuable insights into the tensile and hardness properties and the thermal behaviour of PALF-reinforced NR composites to improve end-use properties.
