402 14. Machinery Noise ControlFigure 14.20. Transmission loss TL versus C/λ.SolutionAt 100 ◦ C, the velocity c = 20.04 √ T + 273.16 = 387.1 m/s. The wavelength ofthe 150 Hz sound is given by λ = c/ f = 387.1/150 = 2.58 m. For the shortestexpansion chamber to produce maximum transmission loss, we examine theargument of the sine function:kC = 2πC = π λ 2 radiansfrom which we getC = λ 4 = 2.58 = 0.645 m = 645 mm4From Equation (14.62) the transmission loss is given by[TL = 10 log 1 + 1 (m − 1 ) ]2sin 2 (kC)4 m[= 10 log 1 + 1 4[= 10 log 1 + 1 4(m − 1 m(m − 1 ) ] 2m) 2 ( ) ]2π × 0.645sin 22.58(14.63)
