Abstract
The flow channel structures of turbo-charged pipes used in vehicle engines should exhibit superior noise reduction and less pressure loss. A design model of nylon blow molding structure as a turbo-charged pipe is introduced in this paper. The integrated analysis of noise reduction and pressure drop over a flow channel inside a blow-molded pipe is carried out by the method of multiphysical field collaborative simulation. The coupling relation between noise reduction and pressure drop to access a combined optimization is innovatively established by defining the actual physical modes. Based on the design parameters, the blow molding for the design model is implemented in detail and, some valuable conclusions are drawn suggestive to the actual technology process. The experimental verification for the pipe sample indicates that the developed channel structure can meet the requirements of both noise reduction and pressure drop. This proposed design method can be referred for the development of blow-molded pipes.
