APPLICATION OF THERMOACOUSTIC EFFECT TO COOLING OF AIR USING ACOUSTIC WAVES

Mechanical Engineering

The present world is facing greater difficulties in solving the problems that is created due the advancement in science and technology which is not at all good for our environment and our atmosphere. The basic objective of this project is to provide the alternative method with regard to the present working methods which are harmful to all in one way or the other. The process behind this project is the compression of the working fluid (atmospheric air) by the application of high frequency sine waves that results in the generation of thermal energy. Generation of the sine waves involves the use of an acoustic driver coupled to a resonator with a heat exchanger embedded into it. Using sine wave generator, a standing sine wave is generated. This project makes use of the thermoacoustic effect to produce thermal radiation. Thus at the end simultaneous cold and hot air are obtained by transfer of the heat from the cold region to hotter region. The entire aspiration of this project is to promote an environmental friendly and a cost effective method for cooling of air.
