A Novel Decision Approach for the Performance Analysis of a Gamma-Type Double Piston Stirling Engine †
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Engine Data and Polytropic Analysis
3. Results and Discussion
Model Validation
4. Conclusions
- The model’s performance is examined on a Stirling engine operating without losses and compared with other classical thermodynamic models and experimental data.
- The power and efficiency determined by this new model are 90.30 W and 20.90%, respectively. These results are very close to the ideal adiabatic and experimental results.
- The findings shed light on the engine’s capabilities and efficiency using this novel approach, contributing to a deeper understanding of Stirling engine performance and potential applications.
