In Advances in Heat Transfer and Thermal Engineering: Proceedings of 16th UK Heat Transfer Conference (UKHTC2019) (459-463). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4765-6_79

In a travelling wave thermoacoustic engine, the regenerator is the heart of the engine [1], where the thermal interaction between the working gas and the solid material takes place. Unlike the stack in standing wave engine, the regenerator is more of...
