Multi-objective optimization of the stack of a thermoacoustic engine using GAMS

- We illustrate the optimization of the stack of a thermoacoustic engine taking into account thermal losses.
- We present a new mathematical programming approach to model and optimize the device.
- We demonstrate the interdependence between geometrical parameters to support this multi-objective approach.
- We have implemented a nonlinear programming approach in GAMS.
- We have determined Pareto optimal solutions for single and multiple objectives functions.
