 ABSTRACT

Global warming is increasing on our earth due to major increase in the pollution.
Air pollution is very serious problem on our earth. The main component due to which the
air pollution is increasing are (Co), (Nox) and lead which is get exposed from vehicles.
The other sources such as big factories, electric power generation plants, big
industries, etc. So it is required to solve these problems by taking various serious
attempts. Aqua silencer is one of the attempt taken in reduce the air pollution. It is fitted
to the exhaust pipe of engine or system. These Silences is used to reduce the noise and
control the emission of dangerous gases. In aqua silencer the main component perforated
tube which consists of number of different diameter holes.

Charcoal layer is pasted over that tube and it is used to convert high mass bubbles
to low mass bubbles. The aqua silencer reduces emission noise because, the sound
produced in aqua silencer under water having less amplitude than the sound produced in
open atmosphere .These is happen because of in water molecules there are small
sprockets which lowers amplitude of emission gases and lower the sound level. The
charcoal layer which is pasted over perforated tube can control the emission using the
activated charcoal and highly porous extra free valences so these layer having high
absorption capacity.

Keywords: Pollution, Vehicles, Aqua Silencer, Reduce, Perforated tube, Charcoal.
