Numerical Simulation of Beta Type Stirling Engine Considering Heat and Power Losses

In this paper, numerical solution of beta-type Stirling engine was presented considering its non-ideal regenerator. To this end, the second-order model including heat and power losses was used. Then, a numerical code was applied for calculating geometrical and physical optimum values of the engine. To confirm the obtained results, the physical and geometrical parameters of the GPU-3 engine were...

Conceptual Design of Scroll Expander-Compressor for Stirling Engine

Conceptual design of scroll expander and scroll compressor for 10 kW-class Stirling engine utilizing solar energy as heat source has been carried out. CO2 was chosen as the working fluid, since it is nontoxic, inflammable and it has relatively higher density among probably usable gases. Gas temperature at the expander inlet was set at 700 C, and that at the compressor inlet was at 40°C. System ...

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 ...
