Summary: | Thermoacoustic Engine (TAE) is a technology that converts heat into acoustic power which can be used as driven for other devices such as power generation systems, refrigerators, and heat pumps. Delta EC : Design Environment for Low-Amplitude ThermoAcoustic Energy Conversion is a computer program that can calculate details of how thermoacoustic equipment performs, or can help the user to design Thermoacoustic Engine to achieve desired performance.
In this final project report are using 2 metods to calculate the power of Thermoacoustic Engine, there are using Delta EC software and Matlab R2016a. Data from experiment will be calculate using Matlab, then it will be verified using Delta EC. This simulation was to calculate the maximum acoustic power generated from variation of stack length and hydraulic radius of stack wire mesh. Simulation begins at stack lengths 30 mm to 35 mm, and stack wire mesh number 10 and 12.
The result of calculation from experiment data stack wire mesh number 10 generated acoustic power at 22.8534 Watt and stack wire mesh number 12 generated acoustic power at 12.498 Watt. From Delta EC simulation stack wire mesh number 10 generated acoustic power at 22.8534 Watt and stack wire mesh number 12 generated acoustic power at 12.498 Watt. The result of Delta EC simulation from variation of stack length, stack wire mesh number 10 generated maximum acoustic power 35.278 Watt at 33 mm stack length. Stack wire mesh number 12 generated maximum acoustic power 30.223 Watt at 35 mm stack length.
