Abstract
⺠Two models for a novel two-phase thermofluidic oscillator are developed. ⺠The effect of including a dissipative thermal loss (TL) parameter is investigated. ⺠The models predict the oscillation frequency of a prototype (0.1-0.2 Hz) well. ⺠Excluding the TL parameter leads to a 30-fold overestimation of the measured efficiency. ⺠Including the TL parameter allows for a much improved prediction of the efficiency.
