The challenge
Silencer selection involves competing acoustic, aerodynamic and cost requirements across different sizes and materials.
Contribution
Software was developed to model acoustic attenuation, estimate pressure drop and optimize silencer configurations.
Approach
Calculations consider frequency bands, geometry, airflow, baffle membranes and material options. The selection routine evaluates baffle count, materials, weight and cost for specified dimensions.
Results
The application generates performance charts and PDF specifications, consolidating acoustic design and documentation in a repeatable workflow.
