Abstract
  • This project consists of the analysis, design, and manufacturing of the 2016 cooling system for Global Formula Racing’s combustion vehicle. Several water configurations were examined, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate airflow and heat transfer calculations in MATLAB to estimate heat rejection through each concept. Data used to perform calculations was collected in previous years, both during vehicle testing and dynamometer testing. A configuration was selected based on these results and the diffuser and ducts were designed to implement the radiators chosen. Sensors were added to the system in order to determine the effectiveness of the thermal management of the system at various points in the cooling loops. Recommendations for system improvement and expansion are provided for future iterations of the cooling system for both the combustion and electric vehicles. Details of the manufacturing steps are provided in an appendix both as documentation of what was accomplished and as a guide for future students.
