Theoretical Assessment of Traveling Wave Thermoacoustic Engine

Diganjit Rawal, Mahesh Gaikwad, Dr Patil P A

Abstract :

 Thermoacoustic engine is a device which can transform thermal into acoustic energy due to thermal conversation between oscillatory compressible flow and solid structure such as thermoacoustic regenerator. 

There has only gas which is moving parameter in thermoacoustic engine and the working gas is environmental friendy. In recent years, much work has been stimulated on the research of thermoacoustic effect. Thermoacoustic electric 
generators are composed of thermoacoustic engines and linear alternators. These technologies are in harvesting solar 
energy and waste heat from plants, industrial facilities. It is also useful for low temperature. A thermoacoustic engine 
converts heat into high–intensity acoustic oscillations based on the time–averaged thermodynamic interaction between 
working gas and solid. Referred to old fashioned heat engines, it has no mechanical moving parts and simply consists 
of a few pipes and heat exchangers. Thus, it has the worth of simple structure, high reliability, and low manufacturing 
and maintenance costs.
