Summary

A numerical model of Stirling cryocoolers is presented in which the machine is divided into spaces that are either fully isothermal or fully adiabatic. In adiabatic spaces, the flow is one-dimensional and stratified. Pressure is time-dependent, but spatially uniform. The model includes two conservation laws, namely for mass and energy. With respect to space, the conservation laws are integrable in closed form, so that numerical, iterative integration is required only with respect to time.
