Abstract

See full text

A sound absorbing muffler used to attenuate noise carried by the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine includes a straight-through flow tube of cross-section having no baffles or flow reversals. The muffler utilizes both reactive and dissipative components and includes an outer annular resonating chamber and an inner sound absorbing chamber. The muffler's configuration produces effective broad band noise attenuation even at lower frequencies, yet low backpressure.
