Abstract

A generalized formula predicting the attenuation of a main pipe branched into two in–parallel pipes joined together at their inlet and outlet in terms of the system dimensions has been investigated. The obtained formula reduces to that of known shapes and configurations through simple adjustments in the model. Examples of the expansion chamber and the side branch transmission loss equations have been achieved. A computer model for the system has been developed and proven applicable.
