This study focuses on optimization of the air intake system of a single cylinder motorbike engine for formula student car using solidworks flow simulation. The performance of the vehicle highly depends on the air intake system and thus the need for its optimisation is crucial to succeed in the competition. The design is critical as it has to satisfy all the norms stated in the formula student rulebook 2019. As per the formula student rulebook, the air entering the engine has to pass through the restrictor having 20mm throat diameter which results in decrease in pressure of the air. The purpose of study is to maximize the recovery of the pressure which was lost due to the restrictor thereby reducing the pressure drop across it.
