Abstract: In this paper, an analytical model for a multi-plate thermoacoustic system is developed. The governing momentum and energy equations are simplified to quasi-one-dimensional forms using reasonable approximations. The expressions for the fluctuating velocity (u₁), fluctuating temperature (T₁), Nusselt number (Nu), fluid friction irreversibility (Ns_FF), heat transfer irreversibility (Ns_HT), energy flux density (Ė) and transverse velocity (v₁) are derived using a first order perturbation expansion of the governing momentum and energy equations. Finally, a wave equation is modelled for the present problem by using the continuity, momentum and energy equations.
