MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF A DISH STIRLING SOLAR ENGINE

Exergy Analysis of a Pilot Parabolic Solar Dish-Stirling System

Energy and exergy analyses were carried out for a pilot parabolic solar dish-Stirling System. The system was set up at a site at Kerman City, located in a sunny desert area of Iran. Variations in energy and exergy efficiency were considered during the daytime hours of the average day of each month in a year. A maximum collector energy efficiency and total energy efficiency of 54% and 12.2%, res...

Efficiency Bound of a Solar-driven Stirling Heat Engine System

A solar-driven Stirling engine is modelled as a combined system which consists of a solar collector and a Stirling engine. The performance of the system is investigated, based on the linearized heat loss model of the solar collector and the irreverisible cycle model of the Stirling engine affected by finite-rate heat transfer and regenerative losses. The maximum efficiency of the system and the...

Dynamics Simulation of Stirling Engine for Solar Energy Based on the Time-Varying Support Stiffness

In order to simulate the Stirling engine more easily, the stiffness and damping ratio of the crankshaft bearing are assumed to be steady-state in the research before, but this assumption is contrary to the real condition. Therefore, in this paper, a time-varying stiffness and damping ratio of the crankshaft bearing simulation method has been proposed. Compared with the simulation results of the...
