An exhaust silencer assembly for use with an auxiliary power unit includes an eductor and a discharge pipe. The eductor is disposed downstream of the auxiliary power unit and has an entrance opening at a forward axial end thereof. The entrance opening is configured to receive exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit. The discharge pipe extends from the auxiliary power unit and communicates with the exhaust silencer assembly downstream of the entrance opening of the eductor.

1. An exhaust silencer assembly, comprising: an eductor disposed downstream of an auxiliary power unit and including an entrance opening at a forward axial end thereof, the entrance opening configured to receive exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit;an acoustic-attenuating porous liner disposed within an interior of the eductor axially downstream of the entrance opening, the porous liner separating a radially outer plenum from a radially inner plenum of the eductor;a discharge pipe extending from the auxiliary power unit and communicating with the exhaust silencer assembly downstream of the entrance opening of the educator, wherein the discharge pipe extends through both an outer casing of the eductor and the porous liner; andan air inlet duct secured to the eductor and communicating with the outer plenum of the eductor via a cooling air inlet opening therein. 2. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 1, wherein the eductor receives a by-pass airflow from the discharge pipe, a cooling airflow from the air inlet duct, and exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit and includes a plurality of mixing zones where the airflows are mixed therein. 3. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 1, wherein the eductor includes a by-pass plenum disposed forward of the outer plenum, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening to the inner plenum that is disposed downstream of the entrance opening of the eductor. 4. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 1, wherein the eductor includes a by-pass plenum disposed aft of the outer plenum, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening to the inner plenum that is disposed downstream of the entrance opening of the eductor. 5. An assembly, comprising: an auxiliary power unit;an eductor disposed downstream of the auxiliary power unit and including an entrance opening at a forward axial end thereof, the entrance opening configured to receive exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit, the eductor including a cooling air inlet opening therein and an acoustic-attenuating porous liner disposed within an interior thereof;a discharge pipe extending from the auxiliary power unit and communicating with the eductor downstream of the entrance opening; andan air inlet duct secured to the eductor and communicating with the interior thereof via the cooling air inlet opening;wherein the eductor receives a by-pass airflow from the discharge pipe, a cooling airflow from the air inlet duct, and exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit. 6. The assembly of claim 5, further comprising a heat exchanger disposed along the air inlet duct. 7. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the assembly is disposed in the tail section of an aircraft. 8. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the discharge pipe extends through both an outer casing of the eductor and the porous liner. 9. The assembly of claim 6, wherein the eductor includes a by-pass plenum disposed at a forward end thereof, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening to the remainder of the eductor that is disposed downstream of the entrance opening. 10. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the eductor includes a by-pass plenum disposed at an aft end thereof, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening to the remainder of the eductor that is disposed downstream of the entrance opening. 11. The assembly of claim 5, further comprising a by-pass plenum disposed forward of the eductor, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening that is disposed at or downstream of the termination of a turbine flow casing. 12. The assembly of claim 5, further comprising an exhaust duct and wherein the discharge pipe communicates directly with the exhaust duct downstream of the eductor. 13. An exhaust silencer assembly, comprising: an eductor disposed downstream of an auxiliary power unit and including an entrance opening at a forward axial end thereof, the entrance opening configured to receive exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit;an acoustic-attenuating porous liner disposed within an interior of the eductor axially downstream of the entrance opening, the porous liner separating a radially outer plenum from a radially inner plenum of the eductor;an exhaust duct downstream of the eductor, the exhaust duct configured to receive airflow from the eductor; anda discharge pipe extending from the auxiliary power unit and communicating with the exhaust duct downstream of the eductor. 14. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 13, wherein the exhaust duct receives a by-pass airflow from the discharge pipe and a by-pass mixing zone occurs downstream of the eductor in the exhaust duct. 15. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 13, wherein the eductor includes an air inlet duct secured to the eductor and communicating with the outer plenum of the eductor via a cooling air inlet opening. 16. The exhaust silencer assembly of claim 1, wherein the eductor includes a by-pass plenum that communicates with the discharge pipe and includes an opening to the remainder of the eductor that is disposed downstream of the entrance opening. 17. An exhaust silencer assembly, comprising: an eductor disposed downstream of an auxiliary power unit including an entrance opening configured to receive exhaust airflow from the auxiliary power unit;an acoustic-attenuating porous liner disposed within an interior of the eductor axially downstream of the entrance opening, the porous liner separating a radially outer plenum from a radially inner plenum of the eductor;a cooling air inlet opening in the eductor;a discharge pipe extending from the auxiliary power unit and communicating with the eductor downstream of the entrance opening; andan annular by-pass plenum within the eductor, the by-pass plenum communicates with the discharge pipe.
