In this paper we derive the dynamical model of a four-cylinder double-acting wobble-yoke Stirling engine. In addition to the classical thermodynamics methods that dominate the literature of Stirling mechanisms, we present a control systems viewpoint to analyze the dynamic properties of the...

Several models have been proposed in the literature to predict the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). These models have different levels of complexity and can be divided basically into two groups: (i) mechanistic (theoretical); and (ii) semi-empirical models. The...
