Title Calculation of the sound power of axial flow machines
Original title Berechnung der Schalleistung von axialen Strömungsmaschinen [in German]
Bibliographic information VEB Deutscher Verlag für Grundstoffindustrie, Karl-Heine-Str. 27, 7031 Leipzig, German Democratic Republic, 1st edition, 1986. 151p. Illus. 106 ref. Price: DDM 45.50.
Abstract In this paper a method is developed for the calculation of the power of sound generated aerodynamically, especially in the blade and vane rows of axial flow fans. By the use of different acoustic models it is possible to predict the overall noise and the spectrum of sound energy. A comparison is made between the results of computation and measurements of the noise generated by different axial fans and compressors.
