Thermoacoustics in Air: Sound Generated by Thermal Means in a Gas-Filled Cylindrical Resonator

Tuesday, September 17, 1985 3:30 p.m. Wayne M. Wright Department of Physics Kalamazoo College Kalamazoo, Michigan Thermally generated sound may be significantly enhanced by producing it in an enclosure which has a normal mode at the frequency of interest. A small gas-filled cylindrical container and a line thermal source are used to study the frequency response…
