Thermo-acoustic effect
Abstract
The thermo-acoustic effect is a phenomenon in which a temperature gradient is produced across a porous structure, known as a stack, when an acoustic wave is introduced to the system. The inverse of this process can also be achieved through the “Engine Configuration.” The objective of this research project is to evaluate this phenomenon and explore potential applications for this unique and unusual process. This includes evaluating how porosity, length, and position of the stack affects the temperature gradient.
