 Rijke Tube Resonator
The Rijke tube is an interesting example of an open cylinder resonator.
The Rijke tube resonator used in the example was made from stainless steel tubing of about 3.5 cm diameter.
The open tube resonance frequency is affected by the temperature since it changes the sound speed.

The Rijke tube that is being used in this work is essentially identical to that model developed in 1859, with several improvements for accuracy.
By characterizing the thermoacoustic resonances within the Rijke tube, a simplified model of such effects, one may devise methods to control or disrupt the resonances.
Rijke burners, as stated earlier, have been studied for more than two centuries and, as such, there exist several papers and treatments of them.

A Rijke tube, representing a resonator with a mean flow and a concentrated heat source, is a convenient system for studying the fundamental physics of thermoacoustic instabilities.
An electrically heated, horizontally oriented, Rijke tube is used for the experimental study of transition to instability.
Hysteresis in the stability boundary is observed for certain operating regimes of the Rijke tube.

 Combustion system for a gas turbine engine - Patent 4557106
It is further suggested that a similar useful analogy may be drawn between a Rijke tube and a combustion chamber such as 33.
The microphone signal was passed through an electronic filter 69 tuned to pass only the fundamental mode of the signal (corresponding to the fundamental mode of the tube 51), passed through variable phase-shifter 71, amplified in variable gain amplifier 73 and fed into a loudspeaker 75 located near the lower end of the tube 51.
When the tube was resonating due to unstable combustion of flame 63 it was found that the unstable combustion, and hence the resonance, could be reducd or stopped at will by controlling the gain of amplifier 73 and the amount by which the phase-shifter 71 changed the phase of the incoming signal.

You can "tip the sound out" by tilting the tube horizontal, or block it by placing the lower end on the floor, and the ROARing will restart when the tube is vertical away from the floor if the gauze is still hot.
Heat up the magic Rijke tube, hold it away from the flame so it ROARS with the retained heat, and hold the normal tube over the flame.
The tubes beat in their ROARing since, although they have the same lengths, they have slightly different diameters.

 VTT Processes - pulse combustor
The 0.5 MW Rijke-tube pulse combustor consists of a tube open at both ends.
The gas oscillations within a Rijke-tube are of half wavelength mode with pressure nodes at the ends and a velocity node at the middle of the tube.
In the non-oscillating mode the air for combustion enters straight to the combustor tube instead of going first to the decoupling chamber at the lower end of the combustor.

 The Rijke Tube - A Thermo-acoustic Device - Resonance - January 2003
The Rijke tube is simply a cylindrical tube with both ends open and a heat source placed inside it.
Traditionally, the tube is positioned vertically on a stand (or even in your hand) and the heat source is introduced from below into the tube (Figure 1).
For certain ranges of position of the heat source within the tube, the Rijke tube emits a loud sound.

Resonance, (Vol.8, No.1, pp.59-71, 2003) carried an article ‘The Rijke Tube – A Thermoacoustic Device’ on the Rijke tube which explained the principle of operation and also gave details of construction of a gas heated Rijke tube.
This was to enable students and researchers to easily reproduce the Rijke phenomenon without resorting to short term gas heating of metallic gauzes or mesh.
As mentioned in many research papers, the optimum position of the mesh is approximately ¼ of the total length of the tube measured from the bottom.

 Singing Flames that Break... Power Stations and Jet Engines
Indeed, it was surprising that only a few calories of heat energy could be responsible for producing so much sound energy; the equivalent effect when scaled up to the size of a power station was difficult to imagine...
In other cases the boundary conditions may be changed by electronic interference; this was again demonstrated convincingly by lowering a glass tube over a flame until it `sang' loudly, and then controlling it via a feedback mechanism.
The feedback was achieved by using a microphone to record the sound being produced at the top of the tube, analysing its frequency, shifting its phase electronically by 180 degrees, and then playing the new sound back at the level of the flame using a loudspeaker.

The model is constructed in a general way which is capable of employing any linear velocity sensitive thermoacoustic response model.
A number of rather general closed form solutions are presented and some of the results are used to qualitatively explain the behaviors of Rijke tubes and jet engine augmentors.

 Article from Automatic Control, LTH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Thermoacoustic instability is a phenomenom that appears in several technical applications, for instance rocket and jet engines, gas turbines, waste generators and industrial burners where it can cause heavy damage to the systems.
As with most instabilities, they are undesired and this thesis“ purpose is to identify and control a Rijke tube process (which has been used to stimulate the thermoacoustic instabilities) with the aid of microphones and a loudspeaker.
A major part of the work has been done on setting up such a process, considering for instance the necessary high sample rates and make future experiments possible and also to show that the process can be controlled with very simple means in a very simple environment.

Abstract: This report is the final report of a three-year program with a 9- month NCE comprising both theoretical and experimental work on problems arising with unsteady combustion of gases intended for use in propulsion systems.
The experimental work comprises two main efforts: (I) measurements providing the basis for inferring the local response function of a reacting mixture: and, (2) accurate determination of the behavior of a Rijke tube.
In principal, knowledge of these two quantities permits deduction of all important dynamical properties of a dynamical system in the second part of this program, a particularly simple combustion system, the Rijke tube, has been investigated.
