Due to multiple discontinuity points, the mode matching method effectively solved the problem. The mathematical equations involved are highly complex due to three distinct and finite linings. To overcome this, a numerical solution is obtained, and the effects of the geometry’s parameters on the transmission loss are thoroughly examined. As the length of the finite acoustic absorbing lining increases, the transmission loss decreases. In addition, the graphs clearly illustrate the substantial influence that the choice of absorbing lining can have on transmission loss. These findings hold great relevance for absorber systems, highlighting the importance of careful selection in order to achieve optimal performance. The obtained results are compared with another study, and complete agreement is observed, indicating the study’s accuracy and reliability.","PeriodicalId":14108,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135667466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The governing equations comprise continuity, momentum, energy and concentration equations which incorporated variable viscosity and magnetic effects in the momentum equation, variable thermal conductivity, chemical reaction, thermal radiative heat flux, uniform magnetic field, Joule heating and viscous dissipative effects in the energy equation and Brownian motion and thermophoretic effects in the concentration equation. The modeled equations are nondimensionalized using nonsimilar variables and linearized using quasilinearization technique. The system of linearized partial differential equations is solved numerically using implicit finite difference and successively iterated with the help of Varga’s algorithm. The physical impacts of viscous dissipation parameter (Ec), Brownian motion ([Formula: see text]) on velocity, temperature, concentration and Schmidt number (Sc) influences on skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number profiles, Bejan lines and total entropy production profiles are simulated graphically. The velocity profiles are enhanced and the temperature profile declines for augmented values of Eckert number. Moreover, for augmented values of Schmidt number the heat and mass transfer rates are enhanced and the Bejan lines dropped a decreasing trend whereas total entropy production is augmented near the wall region. The improved values of the Schmidt number physically increased Sc in the heat transfer rate. The ascending profile of the mass transfer rate with increased values of the viscous dissipation parameter Ec demonstrated that the graph is raised for larger values of the viscous dissipating parameter (Ec). The physical behavior of incremental mass transfer rate led to the conclusion that the relative diffusivity of nanoparticles is characterized by both nondimensional numbers Ec and Sc which are directly proportional to the viscous forces.","PeriodicalId":14108,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Modern Physics B","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135803439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And the sound transmission mechanisms are characterized by the ASEs which can be obtained by solving Navier–Stokes equations. The numerical results show that the sharp increase in the velocity and acceleration at the ABH tip position is the main reason for the focusing of the sound energy. And the dramatic increase in the tip cross-section reduces the acoustic streaming velocity, which is the main reason for the attenuation of the sound energy. Additionally, the thermoviscous effect of the acoustic boundary layer can also dissipate the low-frequency sound energy. The sound insulation experiment shows that the proposed micro-cavity ABH structure has a sound transmission loss (STL) of over 15[Formula: see text]dB in the low-frequency regime. This research reveals the mechanisms of the ASE’s work on the sound transmission properties of the micro-cavity ABH and provides new insight into low-frequency sound wave suppression.
