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 ...

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 ...

Control-oriented Modeling of the Dynamics of Stirling Engine Regenerators

We develop a first-principles model of the regenerator component of a generic Stirling engine. The model is based on the Euler equations of one dimensional gas dynamics coupled with its convective/conductive heat transfer with the embedded mesh material. We investigate various methods for deriving simpler and low order control-oriented models from this first principles model. The basic criterio...
