โฆ Synopsis
Heat ยฏow and work ยฏow are the basic concepts in thermoacoustic phenomena, both of which are introduced by the thermal interaction between the oscillating ยฏuid and solid component. We have developed an experimental technique to determine the work ยฏow in a thermoacoustic device and applied it to a thermoacoustic engine consisting of a looped tube and a resonator. We have found that the reliable determination of the work ยฏow requires the proper evaluation of various correction terms, including the time lag involved in the pressure and the velocity measurements of the oscillating ยฏuid.

The oscillating flow field in a thermoacoustic stack is visualized experimentally using PIV measurements, and computationally using results of low-Mach-number simulations. The experiments and computations are performed under similar conditions. Results are obtained for two distinct configurations, i
