Thermal Analysis and Cost Estimation of Stirling Cycle Engine

Stirling engine technologies have been applied to cogeneration systems mainly for residential applications. The performance of Stirling engines has been evaluated considering different operational conditions, which include the electrical and thermal production. Thermodynamic analysis of the Stirling engine’s performance has been conducted, using specially designed computing codes along with the...

Performance Evaluation for a 100 W Stirling Engine

A small 100 W displacer-type Stirling engine, Ecoboy-SCM81 has being developed by a committee of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The engine contains unique features, including an expansion cylinder which is heated by either combustion gas or direct solar energy. Also, a simple cooling system rejects heat from the working gas. A displacer piston has both heating and cooling inner tube...

Stochastic Stirling Engine Operating in Contact with Active Baths

A Stirling engine made of a colloidal particle in contact with a nonequilibrium bath is considered and analyzed with the tools of stochastic energetics. We model the bath by non Gaussian persistent noise acting on the colloidal particle. Depending on the chosen definition of an isothermal transformation in this nonequilibrium setting, we find that either the energetics of the engine parallels t...
