Determination of the acoustic damping characteristics of an annular tail-pipe
نویسنده
چکیده
A damping device, consisting of an annular tail-pipe, has been developed. It is applicable in situations wherein acoustic damping is required in combination with low flow resistance. Examples are ventilation systems, turboengines, intake and exhaust systems for internal combustion engines. The device consists of a central tube surrounded by a narrow slit. The central tube has an acoustic mass which impedance increases with frequency. When the frequency has been increased sufficiently, a considerable part of the acoustic flow passes through the slit where it will be damped. In this way, acoustic energy can be dissipated while the flow experiances a low flow resistance. The acoustic properties of the device will be investigated using an electrical equivalent model. The impedance will be measured using an impedance measurement duct. The slit resistance will be identified and the damping mechanism will be investigate qualitatively. As result, the slit resistance consists of a linear part, which depends on the air viscosity, and a non-linear part, wherein the loss of kinetic energy of the moving fluidum through the slit causes acoustic damping.

متن کاملEffect of porosity on the characteristics of underwater acoustic sound absorbers using theoretical models
Porous materials have good acoustic damping characteristics over a wide frequency range. As for sound waves, many small-scale pores in the coating materials can convert underwater-coating to rough surfaces. The main property of porous absorbents is their resistance against incident sound wave that leads to damping effect. From a physical point of view, damping occurs due to friction between flu...
