Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

The thermodynamic analysis of a V-type Stirling-cycle refrigerator was performed. The Stirling-cycle refrigerator consists of expansion and compression spaces, cooler, heater and regenerator, and divided into 14 fixed control volumes subjected to a periodic mass flow. The conservation of mass and energy equation are written for each control volume. A computer programme was prepared in FORTRAN, and the basic equations are solved iteratively. The mass, temperature and density of working fluid in each control volume are calculated for a given charge pressure, engine speed, and fixed heater and cooler surface temperatures, and the results are obtained from a PC. The heat transfer coefficients are assumed constant. The work, instantaneous pressure and COP of the Stirling-cycle refrigerator are also calculated. The steady cyclic conditions are obtained for temperature after few cycles and the results are given by diagrams.
