An approach to the analysis of regenerators of Stirling-cycle machines.

Author(s) : ATAER O. E.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The governing equations of the regenerator of Stirling-cycle machines are derived by using the Lagrangian method in terms of the displacement of the displacer, so that time does not appear in the equations. The governing equations of the regenerator are non-dimensionalized and a simplified iterative method is developed to solve the equations within certain assumptions. The equations, which include the pressure fluctuations due to flow reversals and longitudinal conduction, are solved numerically by a computer using a finite difference method and the results are presented.
