| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the evolution of the acoustic pressure waveform and temperature change across the heat exchangers as functions of time in a thermoacoustic prime mover. Measurements are reported for both nitrogen and helium gas under different mean pressures and initial temperature differences. Aspects of this thesis included the design and construction of the prime mover and implementation of a computer controlled data acquisition system. Tha goal is to form a set of data with which to test transient, nonlinear theories of thermoacoustics. The main conclusion is that models will have to take into account the performance of heat exchangers to accurately model the initial build up of the oscillations. | en_US |
