Abstract
Acoustic streaming is investigated in tapered tubes with axially varying temperature, in the boundary layer limit. By appropriately shaping the tube, the streaming can be eliminated. Experimental data demonstrate that an orifice pulse tube refrigerator with a conical pulse tube whose cone angle eliminates streaming has more cooling power than one with either a cylindrical pulse tube or a conical pulse tube with twice the optimum cone angle.
