Low-Concentration Solar-Power Systems Based on Organic Rankine Cycles for Distributed-Scale Applications: Overview and Further Developments [PDF]
, 2015 This paper is concerned with the emergence and development of low-to-medium-grade thermal-energy-conversion systems for distributed power generation based on thermo- dynamic vapor-phase heat-engine cycles undergone by organic working uids, namely ...

Modeling and controlling the generator of a thermoacoustic stirling engine [PDF]
Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Thermoacoustics, 2015 The acoustic waves consist of alternating pressures and flows. The used generator is a linear generator that converts acoustic waves into electric power. The linear movement of the generator is limited; exceeding these limits might damage the generator.

Progress Towards the Development of a Long-Lived Venus Lander Duplex System [PDF]
, 2010 NASA has begun the development of a combined Stirling cycle power and cooling system (duplex) to enable the long-lived surface exploration of Venus and other harsh environments in the solar system. The duplex system will operate from the heat provided by

Case study of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for waste heat recovery from an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) [PDF]
, 2017 The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a mature technology for the conversion of waste heat to electricity. Although many energy intensive industries could benefit significantly from the integration of ORC technology, its current adoption rate is limited ...

Numerical Modelling of Thermoacoustic Stirling Engines & Refrigerators
Rangahau Aranga: AUT Graduate Review, 2023 Thermoacoustic machines depend on the complex relationship between thermodynamics and acoustics, and thus understanding it is vital in order to analyse the working principles and optimise parameters (i.e. geometrical or operational) to improve their performance.

Determination of the stability limit of a thermoacoustic engine by means of finite elements [PDF]
, 2013 A finite element model is presented to obtain the stability limit of, as an example, 2D standing wave thermoacoustic engine. The stability limit is the required heating to obtain self-sustained (thermo)acoustic oscillations. The method used to obtain the
