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...

Performance analysis a gas turbine cycle equipped with a double acting type stirling engine in a power generating unit

The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of a gas turbine cycle equipped with a Stirling engine from the thermodynamic point of view. In this system, part of the heat loss from the gas turbine is transmitted to a Stirling engine to generate more power. In the proposed system analysis, the governing equations of the hybrid cycle are modeled in MATLAB software and Schmidt and ideal...

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...
