Radial wave thermoacoustic engines: Theory and examples for refrigerators and high-gain narrow-bandwidth photoacoustic spectrometers
A theoretical analysis of radial wave thermoacoustic engines in cylindrical resonators is developed. Impedance and pressure translation equations are presented for open sections of the resonator and for heat exchangers. Coupled first-order differential equations are given for pressure and impedance in the temperature gradient supporting engine section ~stack!. These quantities are used to calcu...
متن کاملAcoustic streaming measurements in annular thermoacoustic engines.
Experiments with an annular thermoacoustic engine employing quasiadiabatic interaction between traveling acoustic waves and an inhomogeneously heated porous material indicate the presence of a closed-loop mass flux. A qualitative modeling of the enthalpy flux in the thermoacoustic core provides an opportunity to estimate the thermal convection associated with this mass flux, by using temperatur...
متن کاملOptimal low symmetric dissipation Carnot engines and refrigerators.
A unified optimization criterion for Carnot engines and refrigerators is proposed. It consists of maximizing the product of the heat absorbed by the working system times the efficiency per unit time of the device, either the engine or the refrigerator. This criterion can be applied to both low symmetric dissipation Carnot engines and refrigerators. For engines the criterion coincides with the m...
متن کاملMaximum Obtainable Efficiency For Engines And Refrigerators Based On The Stirling Cycle
The efficiency of the ideal stirling cycle assumes, that the cylinder volumes are isothermal and that the temperatures in the cylinder volumes are identical to the temperatures in the heat sink and the heat source. The efficiency is then identical to the efficiency of the Carnot cycle. However, in a real stirling machine the cylinder volumes are nearly adiabatic instead of isothermal, and the h...
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical study of processes leading to steady-state sound in annular thermoacoustic engines.
This paper gives a simplified analytical description of spontaneous generation and finite amplitude saturation of sound in annular thermoacoustic engines, and also provides comparison with experiments. The model includes the precise description of thermoacoustic amplification of sound (induced by interaction between an heterogeneously heated stack of solid plates and resonant gas oscillations),...
