2. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

   Exhaust system of the Opel Corsa B 1.2 petrol Exhaust manifold (chrome plated) on a car engine. An exhaust system is used to guide reaction exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine or stove. The entire system conveys burnt gases from the engine and includes one or more exhaust pipes. Depending on the overall system ...

3. Transmission loss (duct acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

   Transmission loss (TL) in duct acoustics describes the acoustic performances of a muffler-like system.It is frequently used in the industry areas such as muffler manufacturers and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) department of automobile manufacturers, and in academic studies.

4. Muffler - Wikipedia

   Silencer (silver) and exhaust pipe on a Ducati motorcycle A silencer cut open to show the insulation, chambers and piping inside the shell. A muffler (North American and Australian English) [1] or silencer (British English) is a device for reducing the noise emitted by the exhaust of an internal combustion engine—especially a noise-deadening device forming part of the exhaust system of an ...

   Marvin John Heemeyer (October 28, 1951 – June 4, 2004) was an American automobile muffler repair shop owner who demolished numerous buildings with a modified bulldozer in Granby, Colorado, in 2004. Heemeyer's machine was posthumously nicknamed the Killdozer .

6. Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_manifold

   Exhaust manifolds are generally simple cast iron or stainless steel [2] units which collect engine exhaust gas from multiple cylinders and deliver it to the exhaust pipe. For many engines, there are aftermarket tubular exhaust manifolds known as headers in American English , as extractor manifolds in British and Australian English , [ 3 ] and ...

7. Glasspack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasspack

   This lower flow but slightly quieter design approach is commonly used in glasspack mufflers. Some modern muffler designs are similar in principle to the glasspack, but use more sophisticated sound-absorbing materials such as stainless steel mesh, and more advanced acoustic engineering, reducing noise while retaining the power-preserving ...

8. Back pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_pressure

   Back pressure is the term used for the hydraulic pressure required to create a flow through a chromatography column in high-performance liquid chromatography, the term deriving from the fact that it is generated by the resistance of the column, and exerts its influence backwards on the pump that must supply the flow.

9. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

   An exhaust brake is a means of slowing a diesel engine by closing off the exhaust path from the engine, causing the exhaust gases to be compressed in the exhaust manifold, and in the cylinder. Since the exhaust is being compressed, and there is no fuel being applied, the engine slows down the vehicle: the crankshaft (and, hence, the wheels ...
