Low Temperature Difference Alpha-Type Stirling Engine for the Experimental Determination of Optimal Parameters to Maximize Shaft Power
DownloadSpring 2020
An investigation was performed experimentally to determine the combination of parameters that would produce the maximum shaft power for an alpha-type Stirling engine using a thermal source with a temperature below 100 °C. The primary objective of the study was to design and build an alpha-type...

Upper limb amputation is a debilitating condition that affects over 41,000 people in the United States alone. Largely because of limitations in wrist prostheses, many people affected by upper limb amputation are compelled to use compensatory movements to perform tasks of daily living, which often...
