Abstract
The combination of a thermoacoustic pressure wave generator, or driver, with a pulse tube refrigerator shows great promise as a method to develop a long lifetime, no moving parts refrigerator. No moving parts refrigerators have been constructed1,2 by combining thermoacoustic refrigerators and drivers. We will explore opportunities and methods for miniaturizing the thermoacoustic pressure wave generator. Power output, temperature gradient, and acoustic losses are several of the variables investigated which are affected by miniaturization. The results of this analysis will be used in designing and constructing a miniature thermoacoustic pressure wave generator.
