In the recent discussion involving low-greenhouse-gas-emission refrigeration, one viable candidate is always missing: thermoacoustic refrigeration. Thermoacostic refrigeration is a refrigeration system based on acoustically induced heat transfer. In this seminar, a review of thermoacoustic development in the past is presented to explain why thermoacoustic refrigeration is a viable option for environmentally friendly refrigeration. The review is followed by a presentation on how resonator curvature can affect the thermoacoustic effect and their applications in thermoacoustic refrigeration.
