By William R. Martini, Richard Washington

The aim of this layout guide is to supply an advent to Stirling cycle warmth engines, to prepare and establish the to be had Stirling engine literature, and to spot, set up, review and evaluate non-proprietary Stirling engine layout methodologies

Many Machinist initiatives, would get advantages from analyzing this book.

PARTIALLY DESCRIBED STIRLING ENGINES (_. I}( In this section will be given as much information as available on complete wellengineered engines which have some information on displacement, operating speed, operating temperatures, power and efficiency, but not enough data so that they can be classified as fully described engines.

The design of the heater, cooler and regenerator have not been disclosed. Probably there are many different kinds of 1-98 engines depending upon the intended use. Michels (76 e) has calculated the performance of the 1-98 engine for a variety of conditions. In each condition the heat exchangers of the engine are optimized for the best efficiency at each power point. Michels showed that for these optimized engines the indicated efficiency depends upon the heater temperature and cooler temperature and not upon the working gas used.

By separating the losses in this way much of the seal drag which is dependent upon engine pressure is lumped with gaseous pumping power. Since the flow friction of the gas is proportional to the engine speed for laminar flow and to the engine speed squared for turbulent flow, much of the so-called gaseous pumping power is seal drag. Tests of an even earlier Philips air engine are reported by Schrader of the U. S. Naval Experimenting Station (51 r). 5 W or more. 5" and a stroke of the power_piston Of 1-7/32" and of the displacer 3/4".
