2. 6. Acoustic Characterization of Turbochargers and Pipe Terminations

   Author : Heiki Tiikoja; Mats Åbom; Francisco Denia; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustical two-port; turbocharger; transmission loss; sound generation; compressor; turbine; IC-engine; inlet system; exhaust system; flow duct; duct termination; reflection coefficient;

   Abstract : In search for quieter engines there is a need for a better understanding of the acoustic properties of engine intake and exhaust system components. Besides mufflers which have the purpose of reducing pressure pulses originating from the internal combustion (IC) engine, there are many components in a modern car exhaust and intake system, e.g. READ MORE

   Abstract : Engine modeling and simulation have been necessary tools for efficient product development in the automotive industry for some time. The scope of this work is novel engine models, tools, and methods for powertrain research and development. READ MORE

5. 8. Studies of flow duct acoustics with applications to turbocharged engines

   Author : Hans Rämmal; Hans Boden; Mats Åbom; Antonio Torregrosa; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; IC-engine; turbocharger; duct termination; flow duct; exhaust system; inlet system; acoustic source; one-port; two-port; source model; transmission loss; two-port matrix; reflection coefficient; source strength; multi-load method; Acoustics; Akustik;

   Abstract : A number of experimental and theoretical studies, performed in the field of technical flow duct acoustics are presented in this thesis. The acoustical methods treated are implemented on turbocharged IC-engines and engine gas exchange system components. A new method based on the well-known two-load technique has been developed.

6. 9. Studies of sound generation and propagation in flow ducts

   Author : Fabrice Ducret; Mats Åbom; Andy Moorhouse; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; two-port; plane wave; HVAC system; tailpipe; exhaust system; flexible duct; pipe; reflection coefficient; impedance; flow noise; vorticity; damping; scaling laws; impedance; transmission loss; perforated plate; slit; non linearity; Acoustics; Akustik;

   Abstract : This thesis contains three papers investigating problems of interest for noise control in ducts. The first part of this thesis treats the sound propagation in rectangular ducts with flexible walls. Various experimental techniques are performed to measure the internal sound propagation and radiation to the surrounding. READ MORE

7. 10. Catalytic Converters for Automotive Exhaust Applications. Flow Dynamics, Mass Transfer and Optimization

   Author : Fredrik Ekström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TWC; optimization; exhaust; laboratory reactors; catalytic converter; catalysis; pressure drop; entrance effects; CFD; mass transfer; pulsations; flow distribution;

   Abstract : In order to reduce emissions from vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine, an exhaust aftertreatment system is normally mounted on the engine. This aftertreatment system normally consists of one or several catalytic converters. READ MORE
