The Exergy Efficiency and Output Acoustic Power Performance Optimization of the Thermoacoustic Engine Micro-Cycle

Article Preview

Abstract:

The relationship between exergy efficiency and output acoustic power of the thermoacoustic engine microcycle model which only was accounted for the heat resistance had been analyzed using finite time thermodynamics.And through the new objective function,we obtain the optimization that not only obtain high exergy efficiency but also high output acoustic power at the same time.Optimized imperfection that we only pursue the high exergy efficiency, we obtain low output acoustic power and vice versa.We approve this conclusion by numerical calculation.The results that we obtained will be useful to optimal the design of a actual thermoacoustic engine.
