The performance of silencer system is controlled by the geometrical parameters such as the relative location of inlet and outlet ports, size of main chamber, and cross sectional geometry of inlet-outlet ports and main chamber of silencer. In addition to these parameters, the presence of mean flow and temperature gradient along the silencer also affects the acoustic characteristics of silencer system. Due to the complexity of silencer, it is not straight forward to design the appropriate silencer system. In this paper, a design methodology based on an oustic analysis of silencer system is proposed ; low frequency and high frequency tuning method.

The present study addresses a computational work of the weak shock wave propagatings inside a silencer system of automobile exhaust pipe. Four different types of the silencer systems and the initial shock wave Mach number $M_s$ of $1.01\sim1.30$ are applied to investigate their effects on the noise reduction and the flow field in a silencer system. The results obtained from the present computational work are compared with the experimental results. The second order total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme is employed to solve the two dimensional, compressible, unsteady, Euler equations. The present computational results predict the experimental results with a quite good accuracy. Of the four silencer systems applied, the most desirable silencer system to reduce the peak pressure at the exit of the exhaust pipe is discussed.

A silencer has been widely used for the purpose of suppressing the noises propagated from duct of air conditioning system. The absorption type silencer is usually applied to reduce the noise with high frequency bandwidth. On the order hand, the resonance type silencer is applied to reduce the noise with low-middle frequency bandwidth. The insertion loss of silencer is measured in the reverberation room. The cut-off frequency of reverberation room is 100 Hz. The insertion loss of absorption type silencer is more larger than that for resonance type silencer regardless of changing the flow velocity.

The silencer of 155mm caliber howitzer is developed to reduce its firing loud noise. This kind of research of a large gun was seldom because its big firing noise does not make significant effect even if to use silencer. Nowadays, military facilities became closely located civilian residential area. The noise would be regarded environmental pollution. So the noise reducing research becomes reconsidered. The previous silencer researches were only dealt with small guns as pistols and rifles moreover their theories was not properly analyzed for a large caliber silencer. The reason was previous researches of a large caliber silencer as 155mm howitzer were limited because their data based on simulation results without actual test by using computational fluid dynamics. In this study, the entire processes of silencer of 155mm caliber howitzer which were design, manufacturing, actual firing test, and analysis of its theories, were performed and showed. In particular, the actual noise of with silencer and without was measured and the results were compared to analyze the effect of silencer.

Object of this study is to develop an Stack Silencer System for quieting abnormal noise around power plant. Abnormal noise gets resident people to feel uncomfortable. Stack Silencer System is to minimize pressure loss of exhaust gas and to maximize noise reduction effect from abnormal noise frequency band. Stack Silencer System is installation in stack and absorbing material is an aluminum foam. Reduction effect measures insertion loss of $8.2{\sim}19.4dB$ by Stack silencer installation. After Stack Silencer System installation, pressure loss of exhaust gas measured $5{\sim}9mmH_2O$.

This paper introduces an experimental study for the noise reduction of a ventilating fan system. For the purpose of noise reduction, conventionally an absorptive duct silencer filled with a glass fiber has been utilized. However, a glass fiber has some disadvantages like hygiene and secondary pollution problems. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper, a perforated duct silencer has been applied to the ventilating fan system. For the designing of a perforated duct silencer, the transmission losses for various perforated panel systems are measured and compared with its noise reduction performance.

The flow of steam through a safety valve vent pipe system in the boiler has been analyzed to provide a design basis of diffuser silencer for attenuating shock-shell and jet noise. Numerical analysis to estimate inner fluid of silencer and noise propagation outside silencer are performed. The distribution curve of fluid information to provide average values about inner fluid of silencer is presented by theoretical analysis.

In this paper, a geometric similarity law is introduced to the performance test of a large-sized silencer used in ship engine or plant system. A test of scale-down model enable to yield the cost and time saving in developing large-sized silencer considerably. Two types of silencer, resonator and expansion chamber, were analyzed by a theoretical method and an acoustical FEM(finite element method) in order to obtain geometric similarity variables. A method is proposed to estimate the transmission loss of prototype model using the test results of scale-down model. Two actual large-sized silencer, which consist of resonator and expansion chamber, were analysed by an acoustical FE analysis. Consequently, the proposed method predicts effectively the performance of prototype silencers using those of scale-down models.

The test facility has been manufactured to predict the dynamic insertion loss and the pressure drop for ducted silencers based on ISO 7235. The qualification test of the test facility is necessary for determining the dynamic insertion loss and the pressure drop of the test silencer, and is surveyed the reflection coefficient for an anechoic termination, the velocity profile near the upstream connection to the test silencer, the reduction of the system silencer and the limiting insertion loss due to the flanking sound transmission along the duct walls.
