WORKING
Stack contains gas parcels Standing wave carries the parcel left and right Temperature changes due to gas oscillations in the stack Left parcel rejects heat to the stack Right parcel absorbs heat from the stack
THERMOACOUSTIC CYCLE
BENEFITS
Inert working fluid No sliding seals or lubrication Very few simple components Large range of working temperatures Intrinsically suited to proportional control Immaturity
APPLICATIONS
CONCLUSION
Thermoacoustic effects occur in everyday life are too small low cost is more important than efficiency
