Optimization Of Fluid Acoustic Of A Motor Bike Intake Airbox Using Fe Analysis

Abstract

Engine noise quality and level controlling in IC vehicles is the key feature of a Power train system design process of a new vehicle, so the legislation limits are also satisfied and exterior sound is provided.

In this thesis, a motor bike intake air box is analyzed for reduced noise from the engine. Different configurations of the intake air box will be considered and investigated for the reduced noise by analysis. 3D models of the original and modified configurations of intake air box are done in CREO 2.0.

Acoustic analysis is performed in CFD fluent in ANSYS 14.5 to determine acoustic power levels and pressure for all models using materials E Glass and aluminum alloy for air box and compared for the optimal model. Static structural analysis is done on the models to determine stresses and deformations
