Optimization of a Thermoacoustic Engine with a Complex Heat Transfer Exponent
Abstract: Heat transfer between a thermoacoustic engine and its surrounding heat reservoirs can be out of phase with oscillating working gas temperature. The paper presents a generalized heat transfer model using a complex heat transfer exponent. Both the real part and the imaginary part of the heat...
