The exhaust system consists of the exhaust manifold, the header, the catalytic converter, the muffler, and the tailpipe. Certain flow characteristics must be met for the optimal performance of the exhaust system. The main objective of this chapter is to design exhaust system (particularly the exhaust manifold) using GT-Power software and to optimiz

This chapter describes the final part of the detailed methodology of relationship between noise and back pressure for muffler design. This part includes experimental setup, experimental procedures, results and discussions. The experimental data show a general shape of an average design ofthe muffler which would be the most suitable for the test car

A mixed 110\\ impeller has heen used as an alternative mixing strategy for hiodiesel production. in order to comhine salient hydrodynamic features and overcome stagnation during mixing. This unique comhined radial and axial flow is presented is to show the advantage of this impeller. The numerical simulation of this impeller was carried out using t

This research looks into the potential to promote Brunei as a predominantly Muslim country, as a special area for tourist attractions such as the landscape tourism niche. Among them is Kampung Air (the water village), the flora and fauna. The research will review case studies from all over the world including Jeju Island, South Korea. This research

Researches concerning antioxidants are extensively studied nowadays. Antioxidants are well known to be associated with reduction in cancer incidence since they act against deteriorative effects of free radicals. These antioxidants include the yellow-to-red coloured pigments known as carotenoids, are essential for betterment in human immunity. Carot

Property crimes in residential areas has become a concerning issue in Malaysia. Environmental design based crime prevention theories such as Defensible Space, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and 2nd generation CPTED recommend to construct gates and fences as target hardening measures in the residential areas to prevent crimes.

During the last two decades, the growth of condos in Kuala Lumpur as a high density housing is a respose to the growing demand for housing in the city. So far housing research in Malaysia is focussed on public or private low-cost with little attention paid to the growing condo sector. Therefore, a research need arises due to limited studies on the
