Heat Transfer Intensification in Recuperative Heat Exchangers of the Stirling Engine

Engineering Proceedings
The non-stationary mode of movement of the working fluid flow in the Stirling engine causes serious difficulties in the design of heat exchangers. In most cases, the operation of conventional commercial heat exchangers is considered under steady-state ...

A capture–recapture framework for combining biologging data with physical captures to decompose and estimate demographic rates: Simulations across life cycles and application to polar bears

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating demographic rates of wild populations is critical to understanding their dynamics but can be challenging because large amounts of data are required, and parts of the life cycle of individuals may be unobserved. In numerous research programmes, capture–recapture (CR) data and biologging data are collected in parallel.

Comparison of the Net Work Output between Stirling and Ericsson Cycles

Energies, 2018
In this paper, we compare Stirling and Ericsson cycles to determine which engine produces greater net work output for various situations. Both cycles are for external heat engines that utilize regenerators, where the difference is the nature of the ...

Regenerator Optimization for Stirling Cycle Refrigeration [PDF]

, 1994
A cryogenic regenerator for a Stirling cycle is discussed using fractional loss or entropy gain as the criterion of performance. The gas losses are treated separately from heat storage medium losses. We argue that the optimum design corresponds to uniform channel flow with minimum turbulence where the gas velocity and channel width are optimized as a ...

Changing public perceptions of alcohol, alcohol harms and alcohol policies: A multi‐methods study to develop novel framing approaches

Addiction, Volume 120, Issue 4, Page 655-668, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims Public perceptions of alcohol and its related harms and policies are shaped by multiple discourses and can influence behaviour and policy support. As part of a FrameWorks‐informed project to test framing approaches to improve public understanding and support for evidence‐based alcohol policies in the UK, this research aimed

Rethinking the Normative Foundations of the Stakeholder Theory Through the Civil Economy Approach: Insights From a Relationality‐Based Anthropological Perspective

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing enthusiasm to reconsider the normative foundations of the stakeholder theory is spreading in related literature. Current research mainly focuses on religious, spiritual, and philosophical underpinnings to reexamine these foundations.

Handling A New Regulatory Era: The Influence of due Diligence Legislation on the Deliberative Capacity of Multi‐Stakeholder Initiatives

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In multi‐stakeholder initiatives, actors across sectors develop voluntary standards to guide firms' sustainability efforts. While multi‐stakeholder initiatives have long been a prevalent instrument of sustainability regulation, recently, there has been an uptake of legislation that makes it mandatory for firms to acknowledge sustainability ...

The Breast Cancer Treatment Experience for a Breast Cancer Patient Living With Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities in Ontario, Canada: A Critical Realist Case Study

British Journal of Learning Disabilities, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adult females with intellectual or developmental disabilities are more likely to die following a breast cancer diagnosis. Differences in access to cancer treatment may contribute to these survival differences. We explored how one woman with intellectual or developmental disabilities received guideline‐recommended breast cancer ...
