理论预测表明， 振幅将由热传递的突然开始产生 从表面到可压缩流体。 能量交换， 是由热声波及其后续表面 反射提供了一种机制，用于将能量传输到 流体和冷却表面。 这种传热增强 机制将通过压力和 热测量 没有以前的实验工作已确定对这些 增强现象 对这种热传递的分析工作 增强表明，由此产生的能量传输将是 是简单传导的许多倍。 这项研究旨在 实验证实并量化了这种未探索的现象。

Theoretical predictions indicate that a pressure wave of low amplitude will be generated by the sudden onset of heat transfer from a surface to a compressible fluid. The energy exchange that results from this thermoacoustic wave and its subsequent surface reflections provides a mechanism for energy transport to both the fluid and the cooled surface. This heat transfer enhancement mechanism will be experimentally quantified by pressure and thermal measurements. No prior experimental work has been identified on these enhancement phenomena. Analytical work on this heat transfer enhancement indicates that the resultant energy transport will be many times that of simple conduction. This research seeks to experimentally confirm and quantify this unexplored phenomena.
