Résumé

Thermoacoustic devices either prime mover, heat engines or refrigerators are not known for their high efficiency. Even though these systems have many advantages regarding environmental constraints, they are not yet used in the industrial applications. Energy conversion efficiency improvement of thermoacoustic systems is now in the priority of the thermoacoustic community. One of the reasons of the relative low efficiencies is in the physical understanding which is not well achieved. The appearance of steady mass flow of second order usually called streaming and superimposed to the oscillating flow in these systems is shown as an important dissipating energy phenomenon. From energy consideration and despite their low level, this DC flow involves heat transfer to the wall which is undesirable loss mechanism. This phenomenon which is a quite old topic is still widely investigated experimentally and theoretically. The design, construction and performance measurements of the traveling wave thermoacoustic engine will be presented and discussed. A non-linear acoustic approach has been developed in order to determine the contribution of the different sources of streaming generation. The purpose is to emphasize on the physical interpretation of each source.
