Abstract

Introduction: A significant contributor to noise pollution in urban areas is automobile exhaust systems, wherein Mufflers, as passive devices, are designed to mitigate the noise produced. The dimensions, shape, and configuration of the Muffler, along with its associated components and pipes, influence its effectiveness in Sound transmission loss. This study investigates the impact of varying the length of the Muffler’s connecting pipes and their associated holes on Sound transmission loss in reactive Mufflers, utilizing software simulation for analysis.
Material and Methods: The research utilized COMSOL 5.5 to simulate the effects of different geometric factors on Sound transmission loss in Mufflers. Modifying factors such as the length of connecting pipes and the existence of holes led to the development of various designs. Analysis of the results was conducted to assess the impact of each parameter on sound attenuation, enabling a straightforward comparison of acoustic efficiency.
Results: Studies demonstrate that changing the form of pipes at different frequencies produces diverse outcomes. Introducing a perforation prior to the tube and utilizing elongated connecting tubes with expansion chambers can enhance transmission attenuation. On the other hand, transmission loss decreases with longer pipes that lack holes. Lower pitches experience minimal attenuation, whereas higher pitches undergo more loss. Reactive Mufflers work best at certain frequencies, where the length of the connecting pipe affects both the acoustic mass and the effectiveness of the Muffler.
Conclusion: The results obtained from this study can inform the optimal design of Mufflers aimed at enhancing their efficacy in Sound transmission loss. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the synergistic impact of the geometrical configurations of the internal pipes within the Muffler to minimize sound emissions from the exhaust outlet.
