Abstract :
The equation between the performance indexes and the parameters about standing-wave thermo-acoustic engine is obtained in this paper basing on the thermoacoustic theory of Swift.And the effects of the internal heat leak and the irreversibilities on the standing-wave thermo-acoustic engine are validated.
