DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF POWER TRAIN AND ITS COOLING SYSTEM

Abstract

This abstract describes the participation of Team Alif in the Formula Student International competition, which is open to college teams from around the world. The competition allows students to showcase their engineering skills and develop innovative solutions to achieve the best vehicle performance. To comply with the FSUK rule book, the Team Alif electric vehicle was designed with weight reduction as a primary consideration, as weight is a critical factor in the competition. The vehicle's design has been adjusted to reduce total mass, with special emphasis paid to the heaviest and most impactful system. Team Alif aspires to attain optimal vehicle performance and stand out by sticking to these design concepts. The aim is to design a functional powertrain for the Formula Student EV. This includes the FEA analysis of the drivetrain and its components along with CFD analysis of the cooling system. The goal is to manufacture and assemble the powertrain and integrate it with other sub-systems of the EV.
