Muffler
A muffler is one component of the exhaust system and is used to
reduce exhaust noise.
Because the exhaust gases discharged from the combustion chamber
during the combustion process are discharged at the pressure of
the gas itself, they are under a considerably high pressure
which causes them to expand rapidly when released directly into
the air via the exhaust pipe, in turn causing a loud noise to be
generated.
To prevent this, the muffler converts exhaust gases into a
smooth gas flow that is then released into the air, muffling any
sound.
