Use of Banana Pseudotallo in Front Spoilers of Go-Kart Style Single-Seaters

Abstract

The research addresses the use of banana pseudostem as fiber (FSB) for the manufacture of front wings along the improvement of the aerodynamics of the car, the karting style, for which tests are carried out with chemical reagents (acetic anhydride, epichlorohydrin), polyester resin and benzoyl peroxide were used in the ratio of 100: 2 for the manufacture of the specimens; with the test tubes, mechanical tests were carried out on the material (tension, impact) with the samples with a minimum percentage of the FSB quota 5, 10, 15, 20, 25%; the profile of the list in the ailerons is the NACA 6412 with which the lift, resistance and efficiency tests were performed in the CFD simulator, this analysis was carried out with the attack angles 0, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20 °; The results of the tests and the results were made by manual molding of the fiber, the tests were revealed as the best composite 15% of the fiber contribution with a value of 35N / mm2 of tension, 3% deformation, Young's module 1 , 13. The profile NACA 6412 with an angle of attack of 12 ° generates a lift 1.55, resistance 0.16. As regards the manufacture of front wings for go-kart style cars with FSB at 15% of the material allocation, and with a NACA 6412 profile with an angle of attack of 12 °.
