Research on noise reduction by use of a hybrid muffler

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5426817
This paper describes a study in which evidence has been obtained to indicate that the hybrid muffler made up of heat-resistant thermosetting resin, ceramic paper, and carbon fiber felt used as a noise absorbing material, can reduce the noise without any compromise in engine performance. The study confirms that a highly reliable muffler may be designed using this approach.
