Abstract

Summary

The ability to produce energy from gasoline generator exhaust gas, which is commonly wasted and has a
tendency to contaminate the environment, is an admirable and constructive accomplishment. However, using
the prototype engine to produce this power results in the gasoline generator adding another component, which
will change the sound level. In this regard, the prototype engine's and the sole generator's sound levels in this
study were assessed at various generator speeds and loads. The research revealed that the prototype engine's
and the sole generator's respective sound levels were 73 and 78dB at the minimum generator speed of 1000rpm
and load of 1200W. The sound levels of the sole generator and the prototype engine were 86 and 91dB,
respectively, at the maximum generator speed of 5000rpm and load of 2800W. However, regardless of the
gasoline generator speeds and loads, the sound levels of the prototype engine are within the permissible
tolerance limit of 90-98dB as mentioned in the literature.
