Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically presents the consolidated findings of the phenomenon of self-organization observed during the onset of thermoacoustic instability using approaches from dynamical systems and complex systems theory. Over the last decade, several complex dynamical states beyond limit cycle oscillations such as quasiperiodicity, frequency-locking, period-n, chaos, strange non-chaos, and intermittency have been discovered in thermoacoustic systems operated in laminar and turbulent flow regimes. During the onset of thermoacoustic instability in turbulent systems, an ordered acoustic field and large coherent vortices emerge from the background of turbulent combustion. This emergence of order from disorder in both temporal and spatiotemporal dynamics is explored in the contexts of synchronization, pattern formation, collective interaction, multifractality, and complex networks. For the past six decades, the spontaneous emergence of large amplitude, self-sustained, tonal oscillations in confined combustion systems, characterized as thermoacoustic instability, has remained one of the most challenging areas of research. The presence of such instabilities continues to hinder the development and deployment of high-performance combustion systems used in power generation and propulsion applications. Even with the advent of sophisticated measurement techniques to aid experimental investigations and vast improvements in computational power necessary to capture flow physics in high fidelity simulations, conventional reductionist approaches have not succeeded in explaining the plethora of dynamical behaviors and the associated complexities that arise in practical combustion systems. As a result, models and theories based on such approaches are limited in their application to mitigate or evade thermoacoustic instabilities, which continue to be among the biggest concerns for engine manufacturers today. This book helps to overcome these limitations by providing appropriate methodologies to deal with nonlinear thermoacoustic oscillations, and by developing control strategies that can mitigate and forewarn thermoacoustic instabilities. The book is also beneficial to scientists and engineers studying the occurrence of several other instabilities, such as flow-induced vibrations, compressor surge, aeroacoustics and aeroelastic instabilities in diverse fluid-mechanical environments, to graduate students who intend to apply dynamical systems and complex systems approach to their areas of research, and to physicists who look for experimental applications of their theoretical findings on nonlinear and complex systems.

Book excerpt: This updated new edition provides an introduction to the field of thermoacoustics. All of the key aspects of the topic are introduced, with the goal of helping the reader to acquire both an intuitive understanding and the ability to design hardware, build it, and assess its performance. Weaving together intuition, mathematics, and experimental results, this text equips readers with the tools to bridge the fields of thermodynamics and acoustics. At the same time, it remains firmly grounded in experimental results, basing its discussions on the distillation of a body of experiments spanning several decades and countries. The book begins with detailed treatment of the fundamental physical laws that underlie thermoacoustics. It then goes on to discuss key concepts, including simple oscillations, waves, power, and efficiency. The remaining portions of the book delve into more advanced topics and address practical concerns in applications chapters on hardware and measurements. With its careful progression and end-of-chapter exercises, this book will appeal to graduate students in physics and engineering as well as researchers and practitioners in either acoustics or thermodynamics looking to explore the possibilities of thermoacoustics. This revised and expanded second edition has been updated with an eye to modern technology, including computer animations and DeltaEC examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of thermal-acoustic oscillation is seen to arise spontaneously in gas columns subjected to steep temperature gradients, particularly in tubes connecting liquid helium reservoirs with the ambient environment. This if often the arrangement for installed cryogenic instrumentation and is accompanied by undesirably large heat transfer rates to the cold region. Experimental data are collected and matched to theoretical predictions of oscillatory behavior; these results are in good agreement with the analytical model and with previously collected data. The present experiment places the open ends of oscillating tubes of the various lengths and cross sections in communication with flowing helium in the subcooled, 2-phase, or superheated state while the other ends are maintained at some controlled, elevated temperature. Assorted cold end conditions are achieved through adjustments to the Fermilab Tevatron satellite test refrigerator to which the test cryostat is connected. The warm, closed ends of the tubes are maintained by isothermal baths of liquid nitrogen, ice water, and boiling water. The method is contrasted to previous arrangements whereby tubes are run from room temperature into or adjacent to a stagnant pool of liquid helium. Additionally, the effect of pulsations in the flowing helium stream is explored through operation of the refrigerator's wet and dry expanders during data collection. These data confirm the theory to which try were compared and support its use in the design of cryogenic sensing lines for avoidance of thermoacoustic oscillation.

Download or read book Introduction To Thermoacoustic Devices written by Tetsushi Biwa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns in a flow channel can lead to various phenomena such as Stirling cycle heat engines, pulse tube refrigerators, as well as thermally induced gas oscillations like Sondhauss tube and Rijke tube. Although those phenomena may look different from each other, they can be universally described by the concepts of work flow and heat flow. Work flow stands for the acoustic power used in acoustics. Heat flow is the energy flow associated with the hydrodynamic transport of entropy. These energy flows help us to understand the thermoacoustic phenomena and construct acoustical heat engines.The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how the oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns make possible the mutual energy conversions between work flow and heat flow through thermal interactions between fluids and channel walls. The thermodynamic aspects of energy flows are highlighted by introducing Lagrangian point of view to explain the thermodynamic cycles that the fluid parcels undergo. The relevant experimental results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis based on basic equations of fluid dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first text devoted exclusively to the subject of nonsteady, compressible, internal flow theory and the application of this theory to practical devices. The need for such a text has become apparent with the availability of commercial equipment dependent upon this type of flow phenomena. The book is usable both as a text for graduate level courses and as an introduction for readers wishing to become familiar with nonsteady flow phenomena and their practical applications. This audience consists of mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers; and specialists in fluid mechanics. The first and second chapters are introductory in nature, aiming to assist readers conversant with the concepts of steady flow to adjust to unfamiliar events and circumstances while avoiding the finer details of algebraic manipulation. A generalized derivation of the classical method-of-characteristics as applied to one-dimensional, nonsteady, internal flows is included in chapter three. Chapter four is devoted to a study of the various boundary conditions necessary for handling a wide range of problems. Chapter five deals with methods of solution including both graphical and numerical procedures. The remaining five chapters explore specific fields of application. These include pipeline flows, dynamic pressure exchangers, pulse combusters and the tuning of the exhaust and induction systems of reciprocating, and Wankel type, internal combustion engines. Additional nonsteady flow devices are described in the last chapter. All the latter chapters are supported by appropriate references to available literature, including the basic material presented in the first half of the book. When necessary, additional specialized theoretical material is included in each of the special-topics applications-oriented chapters. In order to fulfill the needs of graduate students and their instructors, worked examples are included in addition to exercise problems.
Download or read book Investigation of a Heat Driven Thermoacoustic Prime Mover Above Onset of Self Oscillation written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this thesis is to investigate the work output of a heat driven thermoacoustic prime mover above onset of self-oscillation. The exponentially growing sound wave, generated when a prime mover is initially 'turned on, ' was digitally sampled for a helium filled prime mover at pressures ranging from 238 kPa to 500 kPa and at temperature differences ranging from onset to 400 K. This data was then digitally filtered by a 100 Hz band pass filter centered on the prime mover's fundamental frequency. A least mean squares fit was applied to the envelope of the filter's output in order to determine the temporal absorption coefficient beta. From beta, the quality factor was computed. These quality factors were then compared to thermoacoustic theory. The agreement between the theoretical predictions and the measured results is extremely good at high mean gas pressures. As the mean gas pressure decreases, however, the agreement between the theoretical value of onset and the predicted slope of the data, increasingly deviate.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermoacoustic instability arises from the interaction between unsteady heat release and pressure perturbations in an acoustic enclosure. The pressure oscillations grow and lead to excessive stress reversals in the structure, raising fatigue concerns and mechanical failures. This common phenomenon in the realistic combustors and rocket engines has been broadly studied over a simplistic laboratory abstraction called the Rijke tube. This simple set-up offers a convenient platform to elucidate the fundamental physics of thermoacoustic instabilities. As evident from the most recent literature, there are numerous aspects of this phenomenon even in the Rijke tube setting that are not fully understood and explored. The current work addresses some of them by forming a bridge between thermoacoustics research and time delay systems stability theory. Under certain conditions, this phenomenon can be modeled as a linear time-invariant dynamics which is affected by multiple time delays. Moreover it falls into the â€neutral†time delay systems sub-class, stability analysis of which is notoriously challenging. In order to assess its stability, a recent mathematical paradigm called the Cluster Treatment of Characteristic Roots (CTCR) is used throughout this work. This combination forms the key contributions of this doctoral study, which are summarized as: (i) Analytical prediction of thermoacoustic instability in Rijke tube in the parametric space of the system. (ii) Introduction of a time-delayed integral controller. This approach leads to novel frontiers for feedback stabilization of thermoacoustic oscillations via a holistic analysis. (iii) Parametric assessment of passive control of thermoacoustic instability using Helmholtz resonator. Specifically geometric characteristics are investigated to stabilize an unstable operation. (iv) Introduction of active-passive stabilization methods, combining a Helmholtz resonator and a feedback loop over a Rijke tube. A new capability is developed to predict control-induced instabilities over this setting. All of these analytically-discovered features are verified with experiments performed in the Advanced Laboratory for Automation, Robotics and Manufacturing. This unique approach is expected to improve the initial design efforts of real-world combustors.
