Acoustic streaming measurements in annular thermoacoustic engines.

چکیده
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 temperature measurement at different positions in the system. The estimated acoustically induced mass flux is in accordance with recent theoretical results.

Experimental 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),...
متن کاملDependence of Sound Amplification on Temperature Distribution in Annular Thermoacoustic Engines
The aim of this paper is to study the influence of the shape of the temperature distribution on the thermoacoustic amplification in an annular thermoacoustic prime mover. An analytical model is presented and the acoustic field in the whole device is computed for an arbitrary temperature distribution. The obtained results demonstrate dependence of the thermoacoustic amplification not only on the...
متن کاملAcoustic streaming related to minor loss phenomenon in differentially heated elements of thermoacoustic devices.
It is demonstrated that the differentially heated stack, the heart of all thermoacoustic devices, provides a source of streaming additional to those associated with Reynolds stresses in quasi-unidirectional gas flow. This source of streaming is related to temperature-induced asymmetry in the generation of vortices and turbulence near the stack ends. The asymmetry of the hydrodynamic effects in ...
متن کاملPerformance Measurements of Jet Pumps with Multiple Holes
Introduction In order to cancel Gedeon streaming in traveling wave thermoacoustic devices, a jet pump can be used [2, 3]. Due to its asymmetric shape an asymmetry in the minor losses during each acoustic cycle occurs that yields a time-averaged pressure drop across the jet pump. By balancing the time-averaged pressure drop across the jet pump with that which exists across the regenerator of a t...
متن کاملAn acoustic streaming instability in thermoacoustic devices utilizing jet pumps.
Thermoacoustic-Stirling hybrid engines and feedback pulse tube refrigerators can utilize jet pumps to suppress streaming that would otherwise cause large heat leaks and reduced efficiency. It is desirable to use jet pumps to suppress streaming because they do not introduce moving parts such as bellows or membranes. In most cases, this form of streaming suppression works reliably. However, in so...
