Oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns in a flow channel can
lead to various phenomena such as Stirling cycle heat engines,
pulse tube refrigerators, as well as thermally induced gas
oscillations like Sondhauss tube and Rijke tube. Although those
phenomena may look different from each other, they can be
universally described by the concepts of work flow and heat flow.
Work flow stands for the acoustic power used in acoustics. Heat
flow is the energy flow associated with the hydrodynamic transport
of entropy. These energy flows help us to understand the
thermoacoustic phenomena and construct acoustical heat engines.The
book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how the
oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns make possible the mutual
energy conversions between work flow and heat flow through thermal
interactions between fluids and channel walls. The thermodynamic
aspects of energy flows are highlighted by introducing Lagrangian
point of view to explain the thermodynamic cycles that the fluid
parcels undergo. The relevant experimental results are provided to
verify the theoretical analysis based on basic equations of fluid
dynamics.
