Anisotropic Heat Exchangers/Stack Configurations for Thermoacoustic Heat Engines

Abstract

The goal of this project is to explore novel configurations of heat exchangers and the stack (heat pumping) section of thermoacoustic heat engines. The approach will be to use anisotropic systems, such as made possible by glass capillary array technology. A part of the project will involve the development of high power drives and acoustic resonators for testing the new systems. Acoustics, Thermodynamics, Heat Engine, Refrigerator.
