Abstracts : Muffler design is traditionally a trial and error
process. This paper describes the flow analysis of a
reactive muffler using CFD simulation in order to
improve its performance by reducing the back
pressure created on the engine. The back pressure of
the muffler is computed from CFD simulation. The CFD
analysis is done to avoid the tedious experimentation.
The flow simulation is carried out using k-ε turbulent
model as it is most suitable for turbulent flows having
less converging time. Total four cases were analyzed
including the base model muffler. Thus three
modifications were done in muffler geometry. The
modification with reduced baffle spacing produced
least back pressure with reduction in back pressure by
8.59%.
