  Development of refrigerators based on Thermoacoustic technology is a novel
solution to the present day need of cooling without causing environmental
hazards. With added advantages of absence of moving parts and circulating
refrigerants, these devices can attain very low temperatures maintaining a
compact size. The present theoretical work is based on theory of linear
thermoacoustics[1]. Under the short stack and invicid assumptions, an algorithm
for design of a standing wave thermoacoustic refrigerator, with main focus on
the stack, is described. A stack is designed for a given cooling requirement of
the refrigerator and certain chosen operation parameters.
