Abstract:
Energy crisis is the major problem of modern world especially developing countries across
the globe including Pakistan. Harnessing energy from thermoacoustic is vital to ensure a
sustainable future and lower carbon emissions. Thermoacoustic generators directly
converts thermal sound waves into electricity, and over the last few decades have become
an extremely promising research domain. Their applications are primarily in the aerospace
industry, although they can be easily installed in many decentralized energy generation and
refrigeration technologies. This project aims to develop a low-cost, maintenance-free, and
flexible prototype capable of harnessing this low-grade source of energy at a small scale
which can open a wide window of opportunity for the future thermoacoustic micro power
generation and refrigeration on domestic level. This document provides a comprehensive
review of thermoacoustic devices, components, applications, and methodology to be
followed for project completion.
