Different variables affect the performance of the Stirling engine and are considered in optimization and designing activities. Among these factors, torque and power have the greatest effect on the robustness of the Stirling engine, so they need to be determined with low uncertainty and high precision. In this article, the distribution of torque and power are determined using experimental data. ...

In this paper, a modified approach to the multiparameter non-central Stirling numbers via differential operators, introduced by El-Desouky, and new explicit formulae of both kinds of these numbers are given. Also, some relations between these numbers and the generalized Hermite and Truesdel polynomials are obtained. Moreover, we investigate some new results for the generalized Stirling-type pai...

The generalized Stirling numbers Ss;h(n, k) introduced recently by the authors are shown to be a special case of the three parameter family of generalized Stirling numbers S(n, k;α, β, r) considered by Hsu and Shiue. From this relation, several properties of Ss;h(n, k) and the associated Bell numbers Bs;h(n) and Bell polynomials Bs;h|n(x) are derived. The particular case s = 2 and h = −1 corres...

This paper presents the exergy analysis and optimization of the Stirling engine, which has enormous potential for use in the renewable energy industry as it is quiet, efficient, and can operate with a variety of different heat sources and, therefore, has multi-fuel capabilities. This work aims to present a method that can be used by a Stirling engine designer to quickly and efficiently find nea...
