The power of sound: Thermoacoustic mixture separation process moves from science to application
DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Until recently no one knew that if you put a mixture of two gases in a tube and send a sound wave – a pure tone, not a cacophony – through the mixture, it partially separates with one end of the tube being enriched with one kind of gas and the opposite end enriched with the other.
