Numerical Study of Entropy Generation Within Thermoacoustic Heat Exchangers with Plane Fins

In this paper a simplified two-dimensional computational model for studying the entropy generation characteristics of thermoacoustic heat exchangers with plane fins is presented. The model integrates the equations of the standard linear thermoacoustic theory into an energy balance-based numerical ca...
