Product Description
This is a NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING SERVICE CENTER PORT HUENEME CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A849083. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Passive methods for decreasing jet engine test cell noise emissions are evaluated and compared. Such methods have the dual advantages of low cost and simplicity. In addition, the effect on the aerothermal performance of the test cell is minimal. Sound pressure levels were measured in and around test facilities equipped with various devices to further reduce noise. The data were supplemented with parametric studies of noise reduction techniques conducted using a 1/20th scale physical model of the Navy's standard T-10 jet engine test cell. Methods that attack the noise problem from outside and methods that attack the problem from inside the test cell are assessed, including trees and other vegetation, acoustic walls, core busters, and modifications to the exhaust stack. Mounting screens in the path of the jet and increasing the height of the exhaust stack are found to be the most effective.
