thermoacuostic heat pump (THP) is One of the most important thermoacuostic applications which is used for heat lost recovery in industrial applications and civil applications.In this project, we have a quick review on thermoacuostic theory and researches in this field. Also a thermoacuostic heat pump in a lab scale will be designed and analyzed.For achieving this goal, first, mathematical equations of thermoacuostic systems are reviewed; a thermoacuostic heat pump is designed on the base of Tijani method and final model is validated by DeltaEC software. In the next step, after investigating about laboratory equipments which is used in testing process, we generate test matrix and study about... 

Resonance acoustic spectroscopy (RAS) is one of the techniques used for monitoring the production quality and evaluation of mechanical properties of cylindrical components, due to their non-destructivity, high precision and quickness.
In this technique, the resonance effects are caused by the excitation of eigenvibrations of structure by an incident acoustic wave located in far-field. The resonance spectroscopy (isolation and identification of the resonance features) is performed on the far-field scattered pressure field which contains valuable information about the characteristics of the target. Appropriate exploitation of these resonance informations from the theoretical model and... 

In the present project, a stringed cavity, specifically the body of the Persian Setar, was studied using computational simulation. This study was carried out via acoustic approaches, based on structural and sound wave interactions. At first, the effects of different structural components were considered, separately. Based on vibrational modal analysis, dynamic characteristics of the elastic structure was investigated in terms of calculated vibrational normal modes. Then, the details of the whole structure was analyzed and the effects of these details on the quality of the produced sounds were investigated by applying some specific changes. The eigenmodes of Setar’s sound board and body, and... 

The silencer is used to reduce sound in the vehicle, air conditioning channels, power plants and guns. Functional parameters of the sound amplifier are the amount of noise reduction and pressure drop. There are few studies on the flow and pressure distribution in the silencer, and there is no article about the effect of the size of the internal passages on the pressure drop and acoustical performance of the silencer. Few studies have been done on the effect of the absorbent fiber diameter on the acoustic performance of silencer. In this study, the effect of different shapes of internal channels (extended tubes, baffles and number of chambers) on the pressure drop and acoustic performance of... 

Noise pollution is one of the major issues in automative industry. Many of these noises are caused by the internal combustion engine. Using reactive mufflers in the car's exhaust path can effectively reduce this annoying noises. Imposed pressure drop caused by installation this mufflers must be within an acceptable range for the car engine. Resonators, despite having a much lower pressure drop than other components of the exhaust system, can be used to cover the weaknesses of the muffler in the acoustic performance of the noise reduction set. One of the most common methods for designing a resonator is to use perforated plates. In this study the effect of various geometric parameters of a... 

In clinical applications of high intensity focused ultrasound, high amplitude acoustic waves are used to heat and ablate tumors and kidney stones. The high amplitude of ultrasonic waves leads to nonlinear effects within the acoustic filed. Heating stems from the acoustic power absorbed by tissues. The more the acoustic power is absorbed, the more the tissue temperature increases. On the other hand, more absorption means less penetration. Since the wave frequency is one of the important factors in power absorption, a compromise should be reached between the transferred energy and desired penetration depth. In this thesis, first, a problem with common HIFU-therapy conditions is simulated;... 

The primary purpose of the present thesis is to provide the feasibility of experimental determination of Counterflow flames dynamic response to acoustic excitations. Following this cause, an excitable counterflow burner test platform was designed, fabricated, implemented, and finally validated. The rich scientific literature associated with counterflow burners, the simple structure of the flame, conceivability of numerical simulation analysis in one, two, or three dimensions, the simplicity of structure among fundamental flames which are correspondingly in resemblance with industrial flames and finally the ability of universalization of scientific result to industrial flames are the reasons...
