Abstract

This work aims to setup and develop a Computational Fluid Dynamic model (CFD) that enables fundamental heat transfer and oscillatory flow studies in thermoacoustic system. The understanding of the oscillatory flows conditions is important to improve and increase the effectiveness of the system. Here, the particular focus is on the effect of frequency on flow and heat transfer of a heat exchanger in a oscillatory condition. Basically, the rapidness of the flow in a system really depends on the flow frequency. The flow will moves faster with higher frequency. In the other hand, the depth of thermal interaction between the solid surface and the following gas also depends on the frequency. Therefore, the thermal layer will becomes thinner. With development of the CFD model, the different frequencies will be used to analyse and discuss how it will affect the system. The result then will be validated with available theory or experimental findings.
