Validation and Testing of a Numerical Model for the Design and Up-Scaling of Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engines
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis presents the experimental validation, testing and review of a numerical model for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The research of LTDSEs is motivated by the potential use of low temperature heat as an unconventional sustainable energy source. An experimental...

Validation of a Numerical Model for Reciprocating Thermodynamic Machines by Examining Heat Transfer in a Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engine
Download2022-06-01
Lottmann, Matthias, Nobes, David S.
A third order two-dimensional numerical model for reciprocating thermodynamic machines is validated using a low temperature difference Stirling engine with 15 Watt shaft power and source and sink temperatures of 150 °C and 5 °C. The work is limited to the thermodynamic model at steady state. The...
