Stirling Engine In Lines
• Closed- cycle regenerative heat engine
a closed-cycle
regenerative
heat engine
with a gaseous
working fluid.
• "Closed-cycle" means that the working fluid is
permanently contained within the engine (there
is no inlet or exit valve).
• Alpha type
• Beta type
• Gamma type
• Actually it depends on
Temperature Ratio (proportionally)
Pressure Ratio (inversely proportional)
Specific heat ratio (inversely proportional)
Stirling Engine Specific Power
• Specific power = power output / engine (Kg)
• Actually it depends on
• Nuclear power
– Replacing the steam turbines of nuclear power plants
with Stirling engines might simplify the plant, yield
greater efficiency, and reduce the radioactive by-
products.
Applications
• Aircraft engines
