Optimization of the stack in a standing wave thermoacoustic refrigerator at different design temperatures
Normah Mohd-Ghazali1, El-Fawal, Mawahib Hassan2.
Although numerous successful thermoacoustic refrigerators have been reported to date,
the performance of these systems is still lower than their vapor compression counter parts.
Optimization is imperative to identify the upper limit of the performance in order to be
competitive and accepted by the general public. However, optimization methods
adopted so far, experimentally and numerically, involved discrete variations of the
selected parameters of interest. This paper presents the results of an optimization using the
Lagrange Multiplier method, a mathematical approach never used before. The
simultaneous optimization of the stack length and center position at various design
temperatures is performed for a standard thermoacoustic refrigerator design. Results show
similar pattern and trend with previous results with a 24.7% higher stack coefficient of
performance achievable. This is promising considering that only two of the design
parameters have been optimized.
