Determination of the Optimum Configuration for a Stirling Engine

摘要: Stirling engines can be classified into three different configurations which operate, in the ideal case, on a regenerative cycle having an efficiency equal to Carnot cycle. Expressions are derived for work done per each configuration. A basis comparing is suggested takes account total swept volume of machine and maximum pressure. This dimensionless quantity referred as power parameter. Several thousand values this have been calculated range all variables with aid electronic computer. has enabled optimum proportions configuration determined. The results presented form chart. It found that according method comparison used one superior others.
