Preferred Region or State of Student: Southeast Michigan

Project Description: We manufacture silencers/mufflers that are primarily used on dual-diaphram pumps. They are injection molded and mount to the pumps exhaust port. We have a proven design, but would like to explore different or unique geometries that maintain the air flow but offer improved noise reduction levels (decibals).

SkillsNeeded: Acoustics, Air flow or pneumatic systems, data aquisition
