6. Performance optimization
6.1 Finite-time thermodynamics (FTT) optimization of a standing-wave system
To simplify the presentation, we have chosen here the case of a closed half-wave thermoacoustic engine (standing wave) shown in figure
. The hot and cold exchangers, imposing the thermal gradient of the stack, are supplied by fluids with respective thermal flows
