Description:
A detailed theoretical study is made of radiatively driven acoustic waves inside a closed cylindrical tube. The formulation accounts for all the essential phenomena for a gas in vibrational equilibrium - namely, gas motion, longitudinal and radial viscous dissipation, longitudinal and radial heat conduction, and radiative transfer with spectral detail included. An approximate expression is derived for the pressure response. This solution is applicable to arbitrary spectral distribution of the radiative absorption coefficient, under conditions attainable in the laboratory. The solution includes both tuned and untuned acoustic conditions as well as the spectrophone limit - that is, the condition where the length of the tube is much smaller than the length of the acoustic wave. The influence of spectral detail on the pressure response is illustrated.
