Abstract:A proposed technique for measuring the noise of a ducted fan by means of a microphone placed inside the fan duct was evaluated by comparing results so obtained with those obtained by measuring the total sound energy radiated from the duct into a reverberation chamber. A suitable microphone windscreen was developed and was used to reduce the aerodynamic self-noise generated by the microphone to a negligible minimum. Good correlation was obtained, and by studying transverse resonance conditions in a duct it was … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
