Stirling Cycle Engine Analysis

Abstract

This book is a timely, accurate and comprehensive monograph which presents a solid foundation for the development of Stirling engine analysis by covering computer, mathematical and experimental techniques which affect the structured analysis. The subject requires a familiarity with the design and operational mode of the Stirling engine being analyzed, and the thermodynamics and aerodynamics of fluid flow and simultaneous heat transfer. Contents, abridged: Isothermal analysis. Free-piston machines. Heat exchanger analysis. Parasitic losses. Appendices. Index.
