Abstract
The contribution of this thesis is to improve the understanding of acoustic dynamics in the audio duct with HQ (Herschel-Quincke tube) is essentially a hollow side-tube that travels along a main-duct axis and attaches to the main-duct at each of the two ends of the tube. In this project the detailed measurements of acoustic in a duct with HQ induced by a loudspeaker at various frequencies have been carried out experimentally. Two microphones have been used to measure the net acoustic power transmission in the duct downstream of HQ and compared with the net acoustic power transmission in the duct without the HQ. Two types of HQ and three different ducts have been studied. The acoustic wave signals are traveling in the duct as a plane wave these waves are generated by a signal generating system with a known sinusoidal wave (sine wave). One of the microphones is located just before the HQ-duct interface and the other microphone after the HQ in the duct. Labview software is used to analyze the signals with a sampling rate of 44100s/sam and number of samples is 20000. This study makes an exhaustive understanding of power spectrum of two acoustic channels in the duct with and without HQ. The results show that there is a great potential for HQ tube system to attenuate the noise over conical and cylindrical sections. The sound attenuation on conical section with short HQ shows about 70% and that of cylindrical section a meager 47% at higher frequency. Further more the sound attenuation of cylindrical section with long HQ is occurred at low frequencies.
