The reality of a small household thermoacoustic refrigerator.

Summary

The paper discusses the thermoacoustic refrigeration cycle and how it can be applied to real world uses, particularly its use in household refrigeration system. The commercial viability of this technology is determined by comparing it to a vapour compression system. The paper has two goals: to determine practical applications where thermoacoustic refrigeration may prove a strong rival to current methods, and to determine what future developments are required for this technology to be a commercial value.
