Thermodynamic analysis of the Stirling cycle

Cryogenics, 1988
Abstract The thermodynamic analysis of the Stirling cycle presented here accounts for the effects of two important design parameters, namely dead space and imperfect regeneration. The definition of the refrigerating efficiency introduced here ensures a fruitful comparison of cycle performance with dead volume and without dead volume.

Small Stirling Cycle Convertors

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
The Stirling convertor concept continues to be a viable potential candidate for various space power applications at electrical power levels ranging from greater than 100 KW to on the order of 10+watts. Various development efforts, both in the past and currently underway, have clearly demonstrated the potential for long operating life of this concept ...

Stirling-cycle cryocooler active vibration control

Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications, 2002
A cryogenic cooler capable of continuously maintaining the required cryogenic temperature is one of the critical elements enabling space-borne surveillance sensors to detect cold objects against a space background or warm objects against an Earth background.

The Stirling Cycle Engine

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1963
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The history of the Stirling engine is briefly reviewed, together with the theory of the engine, and the Stirling cycle. The Stirling and Carnot cycles are compared. The Stirling engine and its operation are discussed, and several recommendations are made, among which: the output work would be increased by ...

M.I.T. Stirling-Cycle Heat Transfer Apparatus

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The paper describes the design and construction of a two cylinder apparatus to measure heat transfer under conditions of oscillating pressure and oscillating flow such as found in Stirling-cycle machines. The apparatus consists of two large single stage air compressors joined by a rigid drive shaft between the two ...

Hybrid Stirling/Otto Cycle for CCHP

Volume 1: Advances in Solar Buildings and Conservation; Climate Control and the Environment; Alternate Fuels and Infrastructure; ARPA-E; Combined Energy Cycles, CHP, CCHP, and Smart Grids; Concentrating Solar Power; Economic, Environmental, and Policy Aspects of Alternate Energy; Geothermal Energy, Harvesting, Ocean Energy and Other Emerging Technologies; Hydrogen Energy Technologies; Low/Zero Emission Power Plants and Carbon Sequestration; Micro and Nano Technology Applications and Materials, 2015
The use of a novel thermodynamic cycle combined with a high efficiency expander and compressor provides a unique product opportunity for residential, commercial and industrial Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) applications. The cycle can be described as a combination between a Stirling Cycle and an Otto Cycle with isothermal compression ...

Computer Analysis of Stirling Cycle Cryocooler

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1995
<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper discusses about the software ‘ISCP’ developed for thermodynamic design and analysis of Stirling cycle cryocooler. The model is based on second order analysis method which assumes the various parasitic losses as independent of each other.

Theoretical Performance of Stirling Cycle Engines

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1965
<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper is supplementary to an earlier presentation of a generalized theoretical analysis of the Stirling engine cycle developed by Finkelstein. The theory is complex and the final equations do not have closed solutions. Only one numerical result was given with the original presentation of the theory.

Combined Cycle Diesel-Stirling Heat Engine

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1985
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A new concept is described for a combined cycle Diesel-Stirling engine that promises to achieve an extraordinarily high thermal efficiency. The two basic cycles are coupled together in series, the high temperature exhaust gases from an adiabatic Diesel engine are fed into a high efficiency Stirling engine in such a
