5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book in duct acoustics, May 11, 2004

By A Customer

This is the one and only book available on duct acoustics. The author presented the topics nicely and should be in the book shelf of every acoustician.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, May 10, 2003

By A Customer

This is one of the specialised book in the topic of duct acoustics. It is unfortunate that it is out of print. In fact this is a must for those specialising in the subject of flow acoustics. I wish that it should get republished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for acousticians involved in exhaust systems, June 14, 2000

By	Deepak B J (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews

One and Only book available in this area for the practising engineers. The book covers basic to advanced topics in this area. The chapter on Experimental and design considerations of mufflers is very interesting and informative even for novice.
