Thermoacoustic refrigeration [PDF]
A new refrigerator which uses resonant high amplitude sound in inert gases to pump heat is described and demonstrated. The phasing of the thermoacoustic cycle is provided by thermal conduction. This 'natural' phasing allows the entire refrigerator to operate with only one moving part (the loudspeaker diaphragm).

Practical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers Beyond Mechanical and Electrical Recovery. [PDF]
Most studies primarily focus on the mechanical protection of objects based on the self‐recovery of wounds. However, this is the tip of the iceberg for self‐healing materials. Several researchers are beginning to explore and develop novel applications.

Torsionally Resonant Toroidal Thermoacoustic Refrigerator [PDF]
This invention for the production of high amplitude acoustic standing waves, which can be used for thermoacoustic heat transport purposes, describes the use of a rigid barrier in place of a piston, thereby allowing the suspension of the resonator to be external to the pressurized resonator and allowing an independent choice of motor mechanism ...

Using a side-branched volume to tune the acoustic field in a looped-tube travelling-wave thermoacoustic engine with a RC load [PDF]
Travelling-wave thermoacoustic engine utilises a compact acoustic network to obtain a right time-phasing between the acoustic velocity and pressure oscillations within the regenerator to force gas parcels to experience a Stirling-like thermodynamic cycle.

A coupling model of the PTR by using REGEN and DeltaEC is built for investigating the effects of the cold‐end temperature and cold load on the cooling efficiency. Some experiments are performed on a PTR working at different cold‐end temperature and cold load which are in good agreement with the simulation results.

Experimental Investigation on the Thermoacoustic Effect in Easily Accessible Porous Materials
Thermoacoustic devices are the systems which use acoustic power to transport heat through a stack in a resonance tube. The stack is one of the most important parts of the thermoacoustic systems.
