Mathematic Analysis and Performance Simulation for Exhaust Muffler Based on Transmission Loss

Xiao Dong Li, Xin Fu Tan

Abstract

Transmission loss is an important noise reduction parameter of exhaust muffler. Based on the finite element method, transmission loss is calculated, and the influential effect of the fluid is considered in this paper. Through calculation of transmission loss of the single expendable muffler and composite muffler, the results show that expansion ratio affects amplitude of transmission loss, and expansion chamber length affects the attenuation frequency bandwidth. The analysis method and conclusions are instructive to the design parameters of exhaust muffler.
