Investigation of thermo-acoustically Driven Linear Alternator C. M. Johnson, P. H. Riley and C. R. Saha Introduction Thermo-acoustic impedance ; Equivalent input impedance; Thermo-acoustic engine converts thermal energy into sound energy by transferring heat between the working media (gas) and a porous solid structure stack. This sound energy could be used to drive a linear alternator to generate electricity and also power a thermo-acoustic refrigerator. • This paper presents a standing wave thermo-acoustic prototype which has been built and tested with the linear alternator. • A simplified theoretical model of a linear alternator driven by a standing wave thermo-acoustic engine is introduced. • The model is validated against experimental results obtained from a prototype standing wave thermo-acoustic engine. Thermo-acoustic linear Alternator 2 ( Bl ) Z in Z e RL Z m ZTA Where, 1 CTA V 2 2 duct 0c Sc Fc 1 Z TA 1 uc jCTA RTA 2 0 cSc RTA VR Vduct is the total volume of the thermo-acoustic duct, Sc is the area of generator, VR is the volume of the regenerator section and α is the propagation constant Mechanical Quality factor ; m0 Qms RTA Rm 2 2 1 0 Where, RTACTA The device consists of five basic elements such as a regenerator (stack), hot (HHX) and cold heat exchanger (AHX) facing both ends of the stack, stove fitted on the top of the hot tube and the alpine SPR-17S Model verification electromagnetic loudspeaker acts as a linear alternator connected at the • The impedance response of the alternator was measured with and without heat to back end of the AHX. An air cooled car radiator was used for AHX and understand the thermo-acoustic strength. an LPG burner was used for heat input into the engine. • Thermo-acoustic effect increases the input impedance and shifts the resonant frequency downwards. 269 mm • The measured mechanical quality factor (Qms) for hot and cold cases are 4 and 3.5 . 20 40 30 62 117 • The measured results agrees well with the theoretical model. 175 mm Conclusions Stack 30 Circular cross section Electrical circuit model of the thermo-acoustic electromagnetic generator Where, B is the constant flux density in the coil, l is the effective length of the coil, u is the relative velocity between magnet and coil.

It is easier to put the acoustic and mechanical components into a single electrical circuits using lumped electrical components. • Electromagnetic Linear Alternator can be represented as coil internal resistance (R0), coil inductance (L0) associated with source voltage (V) and the load resistance (RL). • Acoustic components can be represented by an equivalent impedance (ZTA ) and force source (FTA ) and mechanical components can be represented by a second order mass (m), damper (Rm) and spring constant (1/k) model.
