Resonance Stirling Engine producing heat and power (CHP)

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...

Internal Combustion Engine Model for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems Design

A model based, energy focused, quasi-stationary waste heat driven, internal combustion engine (ICE) centred design methodology for cogeneration (heat and electricity) systems is presented. The developed parametric model could be used for system sizing, performance evaluation, and optimization. This paper presents a systematic approach to model the behaviour of the CHP system using heat recovery...

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...

Analysis of the Technological Transition Strategy of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) in Iran

This article identifies the most important barriers that have led to the lack of Combined heat and power (CHP) in Iran in comparison with the national plans. In present study, a model for policy analyzing of combined heat and power technologies on the basis of integrating the two approaches of technological innovation system and multi-level perspective which has been provided. The barriers of C...
