Introduction Thermoacoustic engines are a new class of energy conversion devices (prime movers, refrigerators and heat pumps) whose operation relies on the interaction between heat and sound in close proximity of solid surfaces, a phenomenon identified as the "thermoacoustic effect" [1,2]. Since in...
