Tuning the performance of a micrometer-sized Stirling engine through reservoir engineering

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...

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...

Iron Oxide Labeling of Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Micrometer-sized Particles: Applications to Cartilage Tissue Engineering

rMSCs; and (b) labeled rMSCs. GAG stains red, nuclei black, and the cytoplasm green. Labeled cells show positive GAG staining (arrows), as well as extracellular iron; (c) results of GAG assay show no significant difference between labeled and unlabeled cells.
