STIRLING ENGINE PERFORMANCE PREDICTION USING SCHMIDT ANALYSIS BY CONSIDERING DIFFERENT LOSSES

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 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...

Losses Analysis in TEP Considering Uncertainity in Demand by DPSO

This paper presents a mathematical model and a methodology to analyze the losses in transmission expansion planning (TEP) under uncertainty in demand. The methodology is based on discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO). DPSO is a useful and powerful stochastic evolutionary algorithm to solve the large-scale, discrete and nonlinear optimization problems like TEP. The effectiveness of the pro...

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...
