Transmission loss Data from SIDLAB Simulation and SIDLAB Measurment


SIDLAB Simulation Transmission Loss vs Gas Temperature  By changing gas temperature the acoustic parameters such as speed of sound and wave length change.  The transmission loss shifts to higher frequency.  In the graphic the peak in the transmission loss shifts from 2 kHz @ 20C, to 3.1 kHz at 400 C to 3.6 kHz at 700C.
