Thermoacoustic refrigeration was developed during the past two decades as anew, environmentally safe refrigeration technology. The operation of thermoacoustic refrigerators employs acoustic power to pump heat. Nowadays, as commercial applications are sought, it is important to be able to obtain fast and simple engineering estimates for the design and optimization of prototypes. This paper provides such estimates by implementing the simplified linear model of thermoacoustics - the short stack boundary layer approximation - into a systematic design and optimization algorithm. The proposed algorithm serves as an easy-to-follow guideline for the design of thermoacoustic refrigerators. Performance calculations applying the algorithm developed in this paper, predict values of 40–50% of Carnot's efficiency for the thermoacoustic core, the heart of a thermoacoustic refrigerator. One reason that these efficiencies have not yet been achieved in devices built to date, is the poor performance of the heat exchangers in thermoacoustic refrigerators. This issue and other remaining challenges for future research are also addressed in the paper. Solving these problems in the near future, we believe, will bring an environmentally safe refrigeration technology a step closer to commercial use. 相似文献
