Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A788333. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The dissertation constitutes the first detailed theoretical and experimental investigation of a thermoacoustic prime mover with periodic boundary conditions. There are five significant aspects to this research: (1) using DeltaE to analyze an annular prime mover, (2) developing an entirely new analysis program using MATLAB, (3) designing, building, and experimentally investigating a single stack, annular prime mover, (4) experimentally investigating a constricted, single stack annular prime mover, (5) predicting the performance of a two stack annular prime mover. The major conclusions are: (1) A single stack annular prime mover will not reach onset because the eigenmodes of the system do not support thermoacoustic growth. (2) A constricted annular prime mover will reach onset because the constriction forces dominating boundary conditions that alter the eigenmodes. (3) A two stack prime mover is predicted to reach onset because one of the eigenmodes of the symmetric system does support thermoacoustics. |
