Abstract:

IC engines are wide area of applications like automobile applications, marine applications, power generation, agricultural applications, light aircrafts etc. But major issues by using IC engine are to cause the air pollutions and noise pollutions. A noise pollution from the IC engine in a now a days is inherent issue. This noise can be reduced sufficiently by means of a well designed muffler. Muffler is the device used in an IC engine to control a noise within a limit and reduce a noise pollution. In this research work, six different arrangements of mufflers are designed and compared noise level for all mufflers. From comparison it is found that the dual exhaust type mufflers gets better reduction in noise compare to the single centre exhaust type and single side exhaust type mufflers. This dual exhaust type muffler provides reduction in noise by 29.56 db in case study of 5 HP diesel engine.

Keywords:
