Experimentation and Computational Analysis of Micro Stirling Engine to Evaluate System Performance and Feasibility in Residential Context

Abstract

This aim of this work is to review working fluids for operation of this engine. Air was found to be a good alternative as a working medium for gamma type engines. The major factors that determine the Stirling engine performance are its thermal efficiency and power output. The higher the swept volume difference, the higher the power output from the pressure to volume (P-V) diagram. Providing heat source (constant heat addition) (Ethanol, Calorific value 29.78 MJ/sec, Density 789kg/m3) Measuring the surface temperature of Hot Cylinder Measuring the temperature of insulated displacer.
