Abstract:
Downsizing of thermoacoustic system is discussed in order to be applied to the electronic equipments. In our previous studies for the miniature thermoacoustic system, the stable oscillation is successfully realized on the straight-tube with opened-closed ends type although the inner working fluid cannot be shut in. To realize the working fluid be shut in the tube and keeping the stable oscillation, a new system is combined of two tubes with different cross-sectional area. The large sized system is applied instead of the small sized one because of the measurement difficulty. As the results, it was confirmed that the efficiency of the energy conversion was improved by using the system which combines two kinds of tubes with different cross-section tube. The reason of the efficiency improvement was estimated that the resonance became to be strong by the overlap of two kinds of resonances. This estimation was confirmed by changing the ratio of length of connecting tubes with different cross-section. The efficiency of the energy conversion was improved by controlling of the acoustic field. Those were realized by connecting of two tubes with different cross-sectional area.
