Fully updated second edition of the premier reference book on muffler and lined duct acoustical performanceEngine exhaust noise pollutes the street environment and ventilation fan noise enters dwellings along with fresh air. People have become consciousof their working environment. Governments of most countries have responded to popular demand with mandatory restrictions on sound emitted by automotive engines, and a thorough knowledge of acoustics of ducts and mufflers is needed for the design of efficient muffler configurations. This fully updated Second Edition of Acoustics of Ducts and Mufflers deals with propagation, reflection and dissipation/absorption of sound along ducts/pipes/tubes, area discontinuities, perforated elements and absorptive linings that constitute the present-day mufflers and silencers designed to control noise of exhaust and intake systems of automotive engines, diesel-generator sets, compressors and HVAC systems.It includes equations, figures, tables, references, and solved examples and unsolved exercises with answers, so it can be used as a text book as well as a reference book. It also offers a complete presentation and analysis of the major topics in sound suppression and noise control for the analysis and design of acoustical mufflers, air conditioning and ventilation duct work. Both the fundamentals and the latest technology are discussed, with an emphasis on applications. Deals with reactive mufflers, dissipative silencers, the frequency-domain approach, and the time-domain approach. Fully updated second edition of the premier reference book on muffler and lined duct acoustical performance, in one complete volume Presents original new research on topics including baffle silencers and louvers, 3D analytical techniques,and flow-acoustic analysis of multiply-connected perforated-element mufflers Includes a general design procedure to help muffler designers in the automotive industry, exhaust noise being a major component of auto ...|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/d5e188cd/acoustics-of-ducts-and-mufflers-2e-ml-munjal-9781118443125.jpg|9781118443125|Acoustics of Ducts and Mufflers 2e : Hardback : John Wiley & Sons Inc : 9781118443125 : 12 Mar 2014 : Fully updated second edition of the premier reference book on muffler and lined duct acoustical performance Engine exhaust noise pollutes the stre ...|new|1|1|999|103.95|0|GBP|ML Munjal|John Wiley & Sons Inc|12 Mar 2014|Automotive technology & trades 9781118427002|Smart Communities - How Citizens and Local Leaders Can Use Strategic Thinking to Build a Brighter Future, 2e|53.48|https://wordery.com/smart-communities-how-citizens-and-local-leaders-can-use-strategic-thinking-to-build-a-brighter-future-2e-sw-morse-9781118427002|The new edition of the acclaimed guide to strategic decision-making in community planning, development, and collaboration Based on the results of more than a decade of research by the Pew Partnership for Civic Change, Smart Communities provides directions for strategic decision-making and outlines the key strategies used by thousands of leaders who have worked to create successful communities.

Completely revised and updated, the second edition of Smart Communities: How Citizens and Local Leaders Can Use Strategic Thinking to Build a Brighter Future further examines the seven leverage points for decision making introduced by Suzanne Morse in the widely acclaimed first edition, originally published in 2004. Advances in technology, a massive recession, natural disasters, and changes in mainstream culture have been part of the enormous social and technological changes of the past decade. But while much has changed, much also remains the same with respect to poverty and economic issues. Morses proven system is as relevant today as it was a decade ago. To date, it has been adopted by thousands of community leaders from around the globe to enable them to build successful communities through informed decision making, cooperation, identification of strengths, and smart strategies. This edition has been updated to reflect our world as it exists today, including completely rewritten case studies that include more detailed information about the application of the seven leverage points, and a more extensive discussion of the entire process as a whole. Suzanne W. Morse is an authority on building smart communities, speaking regularly for large audiences on urban and environmental planning. She has incorporated all of the most up-to-date knowledge and current research into this edition, and has gone further in depth to discuss the evolution of societal problems and how the leverage points can be applied to produce a specific outcome. The secret, she says, is not only having an implementation strategy for the long-run, but also working with precise community priorities to affect real and lasting change.
