Performance analysis of a two-stage travelling-wave thermo-acoustic engine using Artificial Neural Network
Thermo-acoustic systems can convert thermal energy into acoustic waves and vice-versa. This conversion is due to the thermo-viscous interaction between the acoustically oscillating gas fluid within a porous medium, referred to as a regenerator, and the pore internal walls. The thermo-acoustic approa...

Thermo-acoustic systems can convert thermal energy into acoustic waves and vice-versa.

This approach is environmentally friendly as it utilises air as the working medium and therefore does not generate harmful emissions.
