Description: This annual report details progress in basic research in thermoacoustic heat transport made      during the period October 1, 1991 through September 30, 1992. Our major research      efforts were concentrated in two areas during FY1992: (1) a standing wave analysis of the      low amplitude performance of thermoacoustic prime movers both below and above the      onset of self-oscillation and (2) a study of finite amplitude standing waves in both harmonic      and anharmonic tubes. In addition to these areas, FY1992 research efforts also included the      investigation of heat driven refrigerators and preliminary work on investigations of      thermoacoustic engines with laser Doppler anemometry. This technical report summarizes      the important results of these projects. A publications, patents, presentations, and honors      report is also included.... Thermoacoustics, Prime movers, Heat transport, Standing waves,      Nonlinear acoustics.
