Title: A scaling analysis of thermoacoustic convection in a zero-gravity environment

Conference · · AIAA Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6643906

This paper presents a scaling analysis of a one-dimensional thermoacoustic convection heat transfer process in a zero-gravity environment. The relative importance of the terms in the governing equations is discussed for different time scales without attempting to solve the equations. The scaling analysis suggests certain generalizations that can be made in this class of heat transfer problems.
