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.

Jet pumps for thermoacoustic applications: design guidelines based on a numerical parameter study [PDF]
The oscillatory flow through tapered cylindrical tube sections (jet pumps) is characterized by a numerical parameter study. The shape of a jet pump results in asymmetric hydrodynamic end effects which cause a time-averaged pressure drop to occur under ...

Mover guide in a linear electric generator with double‐sided stationary stators
This study addresses double‐sided stationary stators in a linear electric generator with similar operation to a linear oscillatory motion electric machine. The plate mover in the linear electric generator's double‐sided stationary stators is powered by the acoustic power output of the thermoacoustic engine's acoustic line.
