Thermodynamic Cycle of Stirling Engine without Regenerator with Pulsating Flow of the Working Body

The features of classical thermodynamic cycle of Stirling engine considering the periodic reciprocal motion of working body through the regenerator have been analyzed in this work. The possibility of satisfactory functioning of modified engine without regenerator with unidirectional pulsating motion of the working body in reсuperative heater and cooler has also been proved. The characteristic f...

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 ...

Dynamic Modeling of a Regenerator for the Control-Based Design of Free-Piston Stirling Engines

This paper describes a new approach to modeling and designing free-piston Stirling engines with the goal of building a working prototype. The Stirling cycle is recast as a dynamic system where control design tools and techniques can be applied to determine optimal manufacturable parameters for the engine. A simplified state-space analysis exhibits the merits of this perspective by revealing a l...

Numerical study on optimal Stirling engine regenerator matrix designs taking into account the effects of matrix temperature oscillations

A new regenerator matrix design that improves the efficiency of a Stirling engine has been developed in a numerical study of the existing SM5 Stirling engine. A new, detailed, one-dimensional Stirling engine model that delivers results in good agreement with experimental data was used for mapping the performance of the engine, for mapping the effects of regenerator matrix temperature oscillatio...
