Description
Summary:Abstract Thermoacoustic technology attracts significant attention from researchers due to its high reliability, environmentally friendly operation, and less maintenance. An overview of related theoretical models for thermoacoustics technology is used in this review paper to support an introduction to the thermoacoustic effect. The outline of the latest research work in thermoacoustic engine technology and the experimental setup is presented. In addition to this, the paper discusses the numerical analysis of thermoacoustic power generator. The majority of the innovations have been covered in this review, with recent examples being the generation of electric power setups. Interpretation of nonlinear effects in thermoacoustic systems and the innovation of nonlinear thermoacoustics need to receive more attention. For both theoretical and engineering study, discussions on fluid flow and heat transfer under turbulent and oscillating flow conditions will be instructive. These prime movers are utilized to operate the thermoacoustic driven refrigerator, crycooler, and also, used to generate electric power.
