A numerical model for a Stirling engine

A hot air driven thermoacoustic-Stirling engine

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Experimental investigation on the gamma model Stirling engine for cooling production using various gases

The Stirling Cycle is one of the thermodynamic cycles that is close to Carnot cycle in term of theory, and these advantages cause to using Stirling engines in wide industries. The main objective of this research is experimental investigation of Stirling Gamma engine for refrigeration. In this investigation, effect of working fluid air and helium, operatring pressure of working fluid and dynamo ...

Performance Evaluation for a 100 W Stirling Engine

A small 100 W displacer-type Stirling engine, Ecoboy-SCM81 has being developed by a committee of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The engine contains unique features, including an expansion cylinder which is heated by either combustion gas or direct solar energy. Also, a simple cooling system rejects heat from the working gas. A displacer piston has both heating and cooling inner tube...

Application Model for a Stirling Engine Micro-Generation System in Caravans in Different European Locations

This article describes a simple model obtained from a commercial Stirling engine and used for heating a caravan. The Stirling engine has been tested in the lab under different electrical load conditions, and the operating points obtained are presented. As an application of the model, a series of transient simulations was performed using TRNSYS. During these simulations, the caravan is traveling...
