Industrial noise control and acoustics

Randall F Barron

Compiles strategies from more than 30 years of noise engineering and assessment!Provides numerous case studies and end-of-chapter problems for illustration and implementation of noise control applications, as well as solutions to common dilemmas encountered in noise reduction processes.Industrial Noise Control and Acoustics offers methods to predict the noise generation level of common systems such as fans, motors, compressors, and cooling towers select the most appropriate equipment to monitor sound propertiesassess the severity of environmental noisemodify the sources, transmission paths, and receivers of soundestimate sound pressure levelsdesign mufflers, silencers, barriers, and enclosuresisolate machine vibrationIndustrial Noise Control and Acoustics is an excellent guide for mechanical, design, manufacturing, industrial, civil, and acoustical engineers; and environmental engineers working in noise control; and a comprehensive text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
