Annual Summary of Basic Research in Thermoacoustic Heat Transport

Abstract

This annual report details progress in basic research in thermoacoustic heat transport. The approach and progress of three projects are discussed. The first project involves measurements of thermoacoustic phenomena using thermoacoustics couples (TACs). The second is an investigation of heat driven prime movers and heat pumps. The purpose of the third projects is to examine means of visualizing thermoacoustic processes. A publication, patents, presentations, and honors report is also included. Keywords: Thermoacoustic heat transport; Prime mover; Heat pump; Heat engine. (JHD)
