The effect of different plate edge shapes on heat transfer, flow structures and acoustic pressure drop are examined at a selected drive ratio of 0.3 вЂ“ 2.0%. In this paper, heat transfer and oscillatory flow behaviour in three identical parallel-plate heat exchangers, one вЂheat sourceвЂ™ positioned between two вЂheat sinksвЂ™, are investigated using numerical method. This class of technology would achieve an improved efficiency from appropriately designed heat exchangers, stacks, regenerators and thermal buffer tubes. N2 - Thermoacoustic machines, Stirling engines or coolers, and pulse tube coolers are examples of energy systems that operate based on oscillatory flow principles. 131497).Д¬opyright 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Cone edge shape minimises the flow complexity better than other shapes with a negligible effect on the heat transfer. Flow parameters show a strong dependency on drive ratio and flow direction, especially at low excitation where gas displacements are below or comparable to the heat exchanger length. Thermoacoustic machines, Stirling engines or coolers, and pulse tube coolers are examples of energy systems that operate based on oscillatory flow principles.
