Apparatus for attenuating a sound level comprising an enclosure having an inlet and an outlet, where an exhaust flow director is positioned within the enclosure and fluidly coupled to the inlet and the outlet. The exhaust flow director comprises a plurality of overlapping vanes that directs the exhaust flow to attenuate the level of the sound produced by the exhaust.

A bilayler metamaterial silencer allows substantial fluid through the apparatus, while mitigating the propagation of sound through the apparatus, and while providing a form factor that is significantly more compact than previously-known devices. Moreover, illustrative embodiments allow a designer to specify one or both of the frequency or frequencies at which the apparatus mitigates sound propagation, and/or the bandwidth around the frequency or frequencies at which the apparatus mitigates sound propagation.

Method and system for filling a muffler with fibrous material. The muffler includes a muffler shell comprising a first shell member and a second shell member, at least one partition extending between the first and second shell members, and at least one slot formed in the first shell member above the partition. The first shell member is positioned and held relative to the second shell member to form an open portion, a closed portion, and a space between an upper surface of the partition and the first shell member. Fluid is introduced into the space through a fluid delivery device inserted into the muffler shell through the slot, and fibrous material is introduced into the muffler shell through a filling nozzle inserted into the muffler shell through the open portion. The fluid delivery device and nozzle are removed after filling and the shell members are closed and affixed.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for increasing the flow rate in an engine pipe, and a processing method therefor and, more specifically, to an apparatus for increasing the flow rate in an engine pipe, the apparatus being provided in an engine pipe so as to define a circular flow of a gas by maximizing a circular flow length of the flowing gas, enabling the gas to flow circularly along an outer surface of a flow rate increasing tube body, preventing the occurrence of a vortex due to the collision of the gas flowing in the inside and the outside of the flow rate increasing tube body, and preventing the occurrence of noise and the like since the flow rate increasing tube body is firmly fixed to the pipe.
