A convection-driven Rijke-Zhao thermoacoustic engine is developed. It can produce intensive oscillations at two different temperatures. Furthermore, it does not involve any heat exchanger and stack/regenerator, which play critical roles in conduction-driven standing- or travelling-wave engines. Thus...
