4. Methodology
1. Noise pollution is a big concern in today’s world, as excessive noise can be disruptive and harmful to our
well-being.
2. The muffler plays a crucial role in reducing the noise generated by the engine as it travels through the exhaust
system of a vehicle.
3. Achieving the balance between maximum noise reduction and minimal pressure drop can be challenging.
4. To address this, we utilize software to design and model a new muffler, taking into account various
parameters for analysis.
5. By analyzing and adjusting the design parameters, we aim to create a muffler that provides optimal noise
reduction while maintaining exhaust velocity and minimizing pressure drop.
