About this product
Product Information
This updated new edition provides an introduction to the field of thermoacoustics. All of the key aspects of the topic are introduced, with the goal of helping the reader to acquire both an intuitive understanding and the ability to design hardware, build it, and assess its performance. Weaving together intuition, mathematics, and experimental results, this text equips readers with the tools to bridge the fields of thermodynamics and acoustics. At the same time, it remains firmly grounded in experimental results, basing its discussions on the distillation of a body of experiments spanning several decades and countries. The book begins with detailed treatment of the fundamental physical laws that underlie thermoacoustics. It then goes on to discuss key concepts, including simple oscillations, waves, power, and efficiency. The remaining portions of the book delve into more advanced topics and address practical concerns in applications chapters on hardware and measurements. With its careful progression and end-of-chapter exercises, this book will appeal to graduate students in physics and engineering as well as researchers and practitioners in either acoustics or thermodynamics looking to explore the possibilities of thermoacoustics. This revised and expanded second edition has been updated with an eye to modern technology, including computer animations and DeltaEC examples.

"This work approaches acoustics in general very differently than other texts. ... We are big fans of this book. It is much more than a treatise on how to make acoustical refrigerators and heat engines. It presents another way to approach the fundamentals of acoustics." (Robert M. Keolian, Steven L. Garrett, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Vol 143 (4), April, 2018) (Quote for the First Edition) "Swift begins a textbook that employs 21st century pedagogical tools to introduce students and researchers to a 21st century technology. ... The complete and systematic exposition of thermoacoustic theory and experimental technique in this new textbook should make Swift's understanding accessible to a far wider group of scientists and engineers who can go on to exploit that understanding and produce practical devices while contributing to the extension of that understanding by bringing their expertise from outside 'acoustics' into thermoacoustics."

purchased the book “my feelings are like wild animals: how do I tame them?” I got it here because the price was $4.72. Condition is as described. The book was bent which likely occurred during shipping, because it was shipped unprotected, by itself. I wish it was shipped in protective cardboard or in a bubble wrap envelope (like other books from eBay.) Fortunately it’s easy to flatten out the bend by putting something heavy on top of the book. Therefore I’ll purchase from this seller again.
