| Summary: | inside the cooler was studied in order to determine its effects on the cooling power and to minimize its effects by modifying the cooler geometry. The streaming effect deals with acoustically stimulated gas flow within the cooler which transfers heat to its cold parts; this is due to acoustically stimulated viscous losses with the cooler walls and with the stack which causes forced connection. As a result of this study dealing with higher acoustic intensity levels we show that an optimized high frequency thermoacoustic cooler can reach cooling power density levels of a few hundred watts per square centimeter, with applications to laser cooling, electronic cooling, and other applications needing thermal management. |
