Summary

Orifice pulse tube performance is analyzed, first through an ideal model, second through a time dependent model, taking into account mass and heat transfer resistance. Ideal model shows that refrigeration load could be associated to an entropy flow. It quantifies also the minimum entropy production of the process, inherent to orifice, and following that, the maximum COP reachable. Simulated results given by the dynamic model are compared with experimental data obtained with helium and argon.
