Thermoacoustic Heat Engine Modeling and Design Optimization∗

Thermoacoustic heat engines (TAEs) are potentially advantageous drivers for thermoacoustic refrigerators (TARs). Connecting TAEs to TARs means that waste heat can effectively be utilized to provide cooling, and increase overall efficiency. However, this is currently a niche technology. Improvements can be made through a better understanding of the interactions of relevant design parameters. Thi...

Cosmic GRB energy - redshift relation and Primordial flares as possible energy source for the central engine

By considering similar observed properties of gamma ray bursts (GRB) and solar flares with the prevailing physical conditions in the cosmic environment, the following study suggests that most likely and promising energy source for the central engine which triggers GRB may be due to primordial flares, solar flare like phenomena, at the sites of inter galactic or inter galactic clusters in the ea...

Causality and Cosmic Inflation

In the context of inflationary models with a pre-inflationary stage, in which the Einstein equations are obeyed, the weak energy condition is satisfied, and spacetime topology is trivial, we argue that homogeneity on super-Hubble scales must be assumed as an initial condition. Models in which inflation arises from field dynamics in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker background fall into this class but...

Cosmic Inflation *

I review the current status of the theory of Cosmic Inflation. My discussion covers the motivation and implementation of the idea, as well as an analysis of recent successes and open questions. There is a special discussion of the physics of “cosmic coherence” in the primordial perturbations. The issue of coherence is at the heart of much of the success inflation theory has achieved at the hand...

The Yarkovsky effect as a heat engine

We show how the Yarkovsky effect can be understood as a heat engine. The output of the engine, manifested in the rate of change in semimajor axis of the body, has a maximum at an intermediate heat capacity, depending on the rotation rate of the body. This maximum arises because the work output depends on the product of the solar heat absorbed by the body and transported from its morning to even...
