Summary

The cyclic analysis of a Stirling cycle working with a single gaseous fluid is modified to suit two-component two-phase mixtures. When the results were examined carefully, these showed that a substantial increase in cooling effect is obtained. In order to understand how the two-component two-phase working fluid functions in the Stirling cooler, some other processes, generally not coming into picture with a single gaseous fluid, are also considered to get good idea about the working of the cooler and then the estimates about the performance of the cooler are obtained. The processes include, simultaneously compression of gases with different ratios of C(p) and C(v), the drop-wise condensation, isentropic expansion of liquid in presence of other gas, the entrainment process as observed in heat pipes, and saturation process as observed in air humidification process. The change in regenerator effectiveness due to condensation in the regenerator also has to be considered.
