Abstract
Air intake systems are the first step in the process that makes the engine to produce the power that moves your vehicle. Some cars come with factory air intakes that are well tuned to optimize power as much as possible, but for many cars you have the opportunity to increase the power. Our paper focuses on optimizing the design of an air intake system in automobile engine by adding aerodynamic structured baffles, It decrease resistance to air flow into your car's engine while still maintaining high filtration efficiency. High air flow into your engine allows more into the combustion chambers. This increased oxygen content benefits you both by giving more horsepower and torque and by increasing your fuel efficiency and economy. The basic design was designed, modified and assembled using NX Unigraphics, It is the advanced high end CAD/CAM/CAE. The CFD analysis was carried out for an existing model to understand the flow behavior and geometry. Results obtained from CFD analysis of the existing model showed good correlation with experimental data. Based on existing model CFD results, the design changes like adding Aerodynamic structured baffle placement in outlet of the filter box, optimization of mesh size, intake pipe is made shot This increases the flow rate of air into your car's intake manifold which helps the engine make more power, the optimized model was again analyzed using CFD and the results showed Increased in horse power, good improvement in flow behavior, and good filteration. By using NX Unigraphics and CFD analysis, optimal design of the modified intake system for an automobile engine is achieved with considerable reduction in development time and cost.
