Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of Stirling-cycle-based heat pumps vs. conventional boilers
Cleaner Environmental Systems, 2023 Heat pumps (HPs) which use low temperature (waste) heat and renewable energy sources to provide high temperature heat are widely regarded as a critical technology for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector.

Stirling Numbers of Forests and Cycles [PDF]
The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2013 For a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the graphical Stirling number $S(G,k)$ is the number of partitions of the vertex set of $G$ into $k$ non-empty independent sets. Equivalently it is the number of proper colorings of $G$ that use exactly $k$ colors, with two colorings identified if they differ only on the names of the colors.

Analytical model for Stirling cycle machine design [PDF]
Energy Conversion and Management, 2010 In order to study further the promising free piston Stirling engine architecture, there is a need of an analytical thermodynamic model which could be used in a dynamical analysis for preliminary design. To aim at more realistic values, the models have to take into account the heat losses and irreversibilities on the engine.

Stirling Numbers of Uniform Trees and Related Computational Experiments
Algorithms, 2023 The Stirling numbers for graphs provide a combinatorial interpretation of the number of cycle covers in a given graph. The problem of generating all cycle covers or enumerating these quantities on general graphs is computationally intractable, but recent
