Thermodynamic Cycle of Stirling Engine without Regenerator with Pulsating Flow of the Working Body

The features of classical thermodynamic cycle of Stirling engine considering the periodic reciprocal motion of working body through the regenerator have been analyzed in this work. The possibility of satisfactory functioning of modified engine without regenerator with unidirectional pulsating motion of the working body in reсuperative heater and cooler has also been proved. The characteristic features of thermodynamic cycle of the engine compared to the classical thermodynamic Stirling cycle has been analyzed as well. The proposed simplified version of the Stirling engine with relatively low-power can be used in a cogeneration system for heat recovery of combustion products in a domestic flame furnaces in order to produce mechanical energy and then convert it, e.g. into electricity.
