Description

July 2, 1963 R. w. RUMBLE COMBUSTION-ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEMS 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Filed Sept. 19, 1960 Awawme July 2, 1963 R. w. RUMBLE COMBUSTION-ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEMS 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Sept. 19, 1960 pawn 2 for l. 04454 5' Arrx United States This invention relates to noise abatement systems for combustion engines.
The silencing of engines and especially engine exhausts has occupied the attention of designers from the infancy ofthe combustion engine. As far as concerns road vehicles, the problems have been satisfactorily solved, but with the birth of the jet engine, with exhaust gases moving at very high speeds, silencing is very much to the fore again. The problem appears to be at its most acute when the exhaust stream is supersonic because it is probable that a large proportion of the noise produced is due to the stream decelerating through the sound barrier.
The object of this invention is to propose a method of reducing the noise made by combustion engines and especially by the streams of exhausting gases. I
Sound can only be freely propagated in a gaseous '1'I16d1- um, and the basisupon which the invention proceeds is to form and maintain, around the engine and in particular in the zone of the emergent stream, a condition of reduced pressure which attenuates the sound produced by the stream.
The zone of reduced pressure may be produced by the stream itself, for instance by shaping the conduit through which the stream emerges to induce into the stream flow of air from the annular zone surrounding it. Preferably, however, the'zone. is created by' mechanical means such as a fan driven by the prime mover or by the emergent stream, or both. V
It is also a feature of the present invention that the exhaust stream be broken up into separate parallel streams in a closed pattern with zones of reduced pressure occluded in the streams. Of course the whole stream is still provided with a zone of reduced pressure around its periphery.
Various embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal section through the tail end of a jet engine;
FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal section of a second arrangement;
FIGURE 3 is a cross-section on the line 3--3 of FIG- URE 2;
FIGURE 4 is a longitudinal section through a jet engine;
FIGURE 5 is a side view of one form of nozzle and difluser pipe;
FIGURE 6 is a section on the line 66 of FIGURE 5; and
FIGURE 7 is a side view in section of another embodiment.
In FIGURE 1 there is seen the nozzle 10 of a jetpropulsion engine with the jet stream 12 emerging from the annular duct 14 defined between the nozzle and the hub fairing 16. a
In the immediate vicinity of the nozzle 10, the jet stream, as it leaves the nozzle, is indicated'by chain-dotted lines. In that vicinity the stream behaves virtually like a solid body, that is to say there is no significant diffusion or dissociation at its periphery into the ambient atmosphere. I
In the zone at and immediately behind the nozzle 10, the nozzle and the emergent stream are surrounded by a jacket 18 that defines between itself and the stream a space 20 that is annular or of other cross-section depending upon the shape ofthe nozzle. The jacket has an inward flange 22 that terminates just outside the periphery of the stream 12, so that the space 20 is substantially enclosed.
The jacket is connected to a source of suction by pipes 24.
In use, the space 20 is maintained at a pressure reduced below atmospheric pressure by continuously applying suction to it.. The sound of the emergent stream is attenuated as it traverses the space 20. The noise of the engine is thereby sensibly diminished.
A means of applying suction to the space 20 is shown in FIGURE 4. In this figure a fan 26 is located at the nozzle 28 to be impinged on by the gas stream and rotated. The fan blades 30 are extended beyond the.
nozzle into the space 32 (which, in this case, surrounds the length of the engine), but the blades in the space are of reversed pitch so that they apply suction to the space Y 32 that surrounds the emergent stream.
Alternatively the fan 26 may be driven by the turbine through a shaft33.
At the forward end of the engine the space 32 communicates with the intake 34 to the turbine 36. Air in going to the turbine tends to induce the flow of gas along the space 32 and into the air-stream, so that the entire space 32 is at reduced pressure. Noise evolved by the engine as well as the jet stream is thereby attenuated.
To aid evacuation of the, space 20, one stage 38 of the turbine can be extended into the space 32, as shown at 40, where the pitch of the blade tips is reversed.
In FIGURES 2 and 3, an arrangement as shown in FIG- URE 1, or it may be in FIGURE .4, is used, butwithin the nozzle 42 there is arranged a pattern of vanes-'44 spaced apart to splitthe jet stream into a number of separate channels. ,Between the channels the pressure is reduced. Each channel is thus surrounded by a zone of reduced pressure, and the whole stream is surroundedby a zone of reduced pressure within the space 46.
In FIGURESS and 6 there is seen a baffle structuredefining a pattern of vanes 48' of another kind. Here the area of the nozzle 50* contains an arrangement consisting in a series of pyramidal pockets 52 open 'at their mouths 54 which are directed rearwardly. These pockets occur right round the periphery of the nozzle and also within the 1 nozzle itself. The various pockets 52 define between them a series of spaces 56 through which the jet stream SSemerges.
Beyond the nozzle is a tapered diffuser .tube'60. nozzle and tube may be surrounded by a jacket, as shown in FIGURES 1 to 4, or not.
The nozzle is, of course, dimensioned for the aggregate area of the openspaces 56 to be adequate to pass the jet stream.
The effect of the pockets 53 is that the stream flowing through the spaces 56 (which act as venturis) into the difiuser tube 58 tends to induce flow of air from the pockets 52 into the stream. As these pockets are closed, they are maintained at a reduced pressure which acts to attenuate the noise produced by the jet stream.
In FIGURE 7, it is the jet stream 62 itself that acts to reduce the pressure within the jacket 64. The stream passing through the venturi constituted by the convergent nozzle 65 and the divergentdifiuser tube 66 induces flow The throat of the nozzle 65 may contain a pattern of vanes 70 comprising pyramidal pockets 72 and rearwardly directed aerofoils 74 within the mouths of the pockets. The stream 62 tends to induce flow of air from the pockets and aerofoils, which are maintained under reduced pressure.
In the several embodiments, some reverse flow of the exhaust gases may take place into the enclosed space around the exhaust stream, but the momentum of the stream prevents any reverse flow of significant proportion, and what reverse flow there is does not materially aifect the condition of reduced pressure within the space.
In all figures the nozzle may be circular in section and the jacket likewise; but preferably the jacket and desirably also the nozzle are polygonal, so that sound waves tend to be reflected from the wall of the jacket, or both of them, back into the stream.
