Abstract

Engines are one of the major sources for generating mechanical power. There are worldwide applications like automobiles, industries, generators, aircrafts, etc. Along with power required, they also produce noise and gases as a by-product. These gases contribute to the air pollution which is a major concern these days. As automobiles or passenger vehicles contribute most to the air pollution hence we propose a simple, easy to assemble system which is aqua-silencer. An aqua-silencer is a device which uses activated carbon and water of lime to not just reduce the emissions but also noise level. It is connected at the exhaust of the engine. When gases pass through the system, the activated charcoal absorbs most of it and the remaining reacts with the lime water and hence emissions are reduced. As sound is less audible in liquid medium hence noise level is also reduced in the system. It is economic, easy to maintain and a sustainable device.
