Abstract
Thermoacoustic theory for a single capillary tube is extended to random bulk medium on the basis of capillary tubes. The characteristics of the porous stack inside the resonator such as the tortuosity, dynamic shape factor, and porosity are introduced for the extension of wave equation by following Attenborough’s approach. Separation of the dynamic shape factor for the viscous and thermal effect is adopted and scaling using the dynamic shape factor and tortuosity factor is demonstrated. The theoretical and experimental comparison of thermoviscous functions in reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) and aluminum foam shows reasonable agreement. The extension is useful for investigations of the properties of a stack with arbitrary shapes of non-parallel pores.
