Author(s) : ORGAN A. J.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book returns to the priorities of the inventor, Robert Stirling, for whom the engine was a logical extension of the crucial, core concept, the regenerator. Extract from the table of contents: bridging the gap; the Stirling cycle; heat transfer, and the price; similarity and scaling; energetic similarity; 'connectivity' and thermal shorting; 'real' particle trajectories: 'natural' coordinates; the Stirling regenerator (equation of the gas processes; temperature dependence of properties); the Ritz rotary regenerator; regenerator flow impedance; optimization; elements of combustion; design study; origins. The appendices include detailed specifications of several landmark Stirling engines and the properties of a range of relevant fluids and constructional materials are tabulated.
