Abstract
This research paper deals with the optimization of venturi type air intake restrictor that can be used in FSAE (Formula Student) competitions. As per the rulebook provided by FSAE the air going into the engine from the throttle body or carburetor must pass through a 20mm diameter opening. If this rule is violated by any of the team the car is disqualified from the event. The reason behind this rule is to reduce the power output of the engine which will ensure the safety of the driver. In order to compensate the loss of power there must be an arrangement that will compensate this loss. Here Venturi is used as a restriction device. Creo 2.0 is used for CAD modelling and ANSYS 18.1 (Fluent Solver) is used for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of the venturi.
Keywords- FSAE, Restrictor, Venturi, Creo 2.0, CFD, ANSYS 18.1
