Design, simulation and structural optimization of a longitudinal acoustic resonator for trace gas detection using laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS)

The design of the acoustic resonator is critical for the optimization of the sensitivity of laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) in trace gas detection applications. In this paper, an LC circuit model is used for the simulation of a 1D acoustic resonator. This acoustic resonator is designed for CO photoacoustic spectroscopy. The effects of the structural parameters, quality factor and resonant frequency on the performance of the device are theoretically analyzed. The role of the buffer volume as an acoustic filter is investigated and optimized dimensions of the buffer volume, to achieve minimum noise transmission coefficient, are calculated. The effects of the ambient temperature, variety of pressure and gas flow velocity on the resonant frequency of photoacoustic resonator and PA signal are simulated. The temperature dependence of the microphone sensitivity is also introduced.     

Influence of resonator shape on nonlinear acoustic field in a thermoacoustic engine

The influence of the resonator shape on nonlinear acoustic field in a thermoacoustic engine is studied.The resonator of themoacoustic engine is boundary driving by a piston at one end,and the other end of it is rigid closed.A one-dimensional wave equation that accounts for gas dynamic nonlinearities and viscous dissipation in the resonator is established based on the governing equations of viscous hydromechanics.The nonlinear wave equation is solved using approximate Galerkin method.The nonlinear acoustic field in four different types of shaped resonators including hyperbolical,exponential,conical and sinusoidal are obtained and compared with that of a cylindrical resonator.It is found that the amplitude and waveform of the pressure are strongly affected by the resonator shape,the driving amplitude and the oscillation frequency of the piston.Waveform distortion,resonance frequency shift and hysteresis are observed,when the piston oscillation amplitude is large enough.The advantages of shaped resonator for thermoacoustic engine lie in inhibition of higher order harmonics and improvement of pressure ratio,etc.     

Optimal acoustic fields in compact thermoacoustic refrigerators

Thermoacoustic refrigerators have been developed during the last 15 years, employing quasi-standing resonant acoustic waves inside fluid-filled cavities to transfer heat along a stack region. Because higher efficiency can be reached when a significant travelling wave component exists in the resonator, specific resonant thermoacoustic devices have been designed allowing to adjust more or less the ratio of travelling and standing wave components. However, the acoustic pressure field and the particle velocity field do not appear to be the optimal ones, for the thermal quantities of interest. Thus, it is the aim of the paper to present a new kind of thermoacoustic standing wave-like device which allows to control easily and independently the pressure field and the particle velocity field, after investigating the optimal acoustic field, in the stack region, for the main parameters of interest, i.e. the temperature gradient, the thermoacoustic heat flow and the coefficient of performance.     

On optimal design of half-wave resonators for acoustic damping in an enclosure

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for purely acoustic tuning of the resonator. According to the standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals in the model enclosure with the resonators are measured. Based on the signals, quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic-damping capacity of the resonator is characterized. Sound absorption coefficient has the advantages of the damping factor in various aspects. The coefficient indicates clearly the tuning frequency of the resonator, absorption effectiveness as a function of frequency, and overall damping capacity. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution, and the blockage ratio at its inlet are selected as design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator in the model enclosure. The resonators with larger diameter have the advantage of those with smaller one with respect to purely acoustic damping at the tuning frequency. The optimum number of resonators or the optimum open-area ratio decreases as boundary absorption decreases. When the open-area ratio exceeds the optimum value, over-damping appears, leading to a decrease in peak absorption coefficient and a broadening of absorption bandwidth. Blockage at the resonator inlet controls both peak absorption coefficient and its absorption bandwidth and it can be considered one of design factors for acoustic tuning.     

On the adjustment of Helmholtz resonators

A Helmholtz resonator is placed in a room with distinct acoustic modes, and is tuned to one of the corresponding resonant frequencies. The optimal resonator damping ratio is investigated, as a goal-dependent value. For example, minimizing reverberation time requires a different damping ratio from minimizing the sound pressure level. The optimum damping values for a Helmholtz resonator are analytically computed, and then verified by means of experimentation. Furthermore, a construction is introduced which allows for a fine adjustable setting for the eigenfrequency and the damping ratio of the resonator.     

Measurements of the thermodiffusion ratio in a binary solution using an acoustic resonator

The nonlinear acoustic resonator filled with a layered solution is studied. The possibility of its application to measure liquid parameters is shown. The proposed acoustic method is based on the dependence of the speed of sound in a solution on its concentration which varies due to thermal diffusion in the beam propagation region. An analysis of the relations describing the resonator transmittance showed that, having measured the steady-state and minimum resonator transmittances, the thermodiffusion ratio in a binary solution filling the resonator can be determined.     

Nonlinear Spherical Standing Waves in an Acoustically Excited Liquid Drop

Nonlinear evolution of a standing acoustic wave in a spherical resonator with a perfectly soft surface is analyzed. Quadratic approximation of nonlinear acoustics is used to analyze oscillations in the resonator by the slowly varying amplitude method for the standing wave harmonics and slowly varying profile method for the standing wave profile. It is demonstrated that nonlinear effects may lead to considerable increase in peak pressure at the center of the resonator. The proposed theoretical model is used to analyze the acoustic field in liquid drops of an acoustic fountain. It is shown that, as a result of nonlinear evolution, the peak negative pressure may exceed the mechanical strength of the liquid, which may account for the explosive instability of drops observed in experiments.
