چکیده

The effect of perforation impedance on the acoustic behavior of reactive and dissipative silencers is investigated using experimental and computational approaches. The boundary element method (BEM) is applied for the prediction of transmission loss of silencers with different perforation geometries. The variations are considered in the porosity (8.4 and 25.7%) and hole diameter (0.249 and 0.498 cm) of perforations for both reactive and dissipative silencers, as well as the fiber filling density (100 and 200 kg/m3) for the latter. The acoustic impedance for a number of perforations in contact with air alone and fibrous material has been incorporated into the predictions, which are then compared with the measured transmission loss using an impedance tube setup. The results demonstrate the significance of the accuracy of the perforation impedance in the predictions for both reactive and dissipative silencers.

Investigation of the efficiency of various reactive mufflers by noise reduction and transmission loss analyses

Transmission loss and noise reduction of reactive mufflers are determined by linear acoustic theory and unsteady flow field study, respectively. The effects of extending the inlet tube of the muffler, adding holes to the extension, and the number of holes on both transmission loss and noise reduction are investigated. In noise reduction analysis, the Navier-Stokes equations and k-ε model are us...

Transmission loss predictions for dissipative silencers of arbitrary cross section in the presence of mean flow.

A numerical technique is developed for the analysis of dissipative silencers of arbitrary, but axially uniform, cross section. Mean gas flow is included in a central airway that is separated from a bulk reacting porous material by a concentric perforate screen. The analysis begins by employing the finite element method to extract the eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors for a silencer of inf...
