  2. Sound attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_attenuator

    While flow conditions in typical low velocity duct systems rarely exceed 2000–3000 ft/min, sound attenuators for steam vents must withstand airflow velocities in the 15,000-20,000 ft/min. range. [10] The acoustic performance of a sound attenuator is tested over a range of airflow velocities, and for forward and reverse flow conditions.

  3. Neural encoding of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_encoding_of_sound

    The frequency of a sound is defined as the number of repetitions of its waveform per second, and is measured in hertz; frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (in a medium of uniform propagation velocity, such as sound in air). The wavelength of a sound is the distance between any two consecutive matching points on the waveform.

  4. Displacement ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_ventilation

    Displacement ventilation systems are quieter than conventional overhead systems with better ventilation efficiency. Hence, it could enhance indoor air quality and provide desirable acoustic environment. Displacement ventilation systems are appropriate in space where high ventilation is required, such as classrooms, conference rooms, and offices.

  5. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

    Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.

  6. Transmission loss (duct acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Loss_(duct...

    Transmission loss (duct acoustics) definition illustration with transmission matrix. The low-frequency approximation implies that each subsystem is an acoustic two-port (or four-pole system) with two (and only two) unknown parameters, the complex amplitudes of two interfering waves travelling in opposite directions.

  7. Dust collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_collector

    A dust collector is a system used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from air or gas. Designed to handle high-volume dust loads, a dust collector system consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system.

  8. Diffuser (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(thermodynamics)

    A diffuser is "a device for reducing the velocity and increasing the static pressure of a fluid passing through a system”. [1] The fluid's static pressure rise as it passes through a duct is commonly referred to as pressure recovery. In contrast, a nozzle is used to increase the discharge velocity and lower the pressure of a fluid passing ...

  9. Helmholtz resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance

    By one definition a Helmholtz resonator augments the amplitude of the vibratory motion of the enclosed air in a chamber by taking energy from sound waves passing in the surrounding air. In the other definition the sound waves are generated by a uniform stream of air flowing across the open top of an enclosed volume of air.
