A Self-Circulating Heat Exchanger for Use in Stirling and Thermoacoustic-Stirling Engines
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 A major technical hurdle to the implementation of large Stirling engines or thermoacoustic engines is the reliability, performance, and manufacturability of the hot heat exchanger that brings high‐temperature heat into the engine. Unlike power conversion devices that utilize steady flow, the oscillatory nature of the flow in Stirling and thermoacoustic

Weakly nonlinear thermoacoustics for stacks with slowly varying pore cross-sections [PDF]
A general theory of thermoacoustics is derived for arbitrary stack pores. Previous theoretical treatments of porous media are extended by considering arbitrarily shaped pores with the only restriction that the pore cross-sections vary slowly in the ...

Numerical modelling of thermoacoustic Stirling engines & refrigerators
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and EngineeringAbstract This paper investigates how numerical modelling can be used to explore thermoacoustic machines and compares the accuracy of the performance predictions for different simulation software. The software used includes one designed for modelling Stirling machines called ‘Sage’ and for modelling thermoacoustic machines called ‘DeltaEC.
