This paper provides a theoretical investigation on the thermodynamic analysis of a Stirling engine. An isothermal model is developed for an imperfect regeneration Stirling engine with dead volumes of hot space, cold space and regenerator that the regenerator effective temperature is an...

In this paper, two single-acting, twin power piston and four power pistons, gamma-configuration, low-temperature differential Stirling engine are designed and constructed. The engine performance is tested with air at atmospheric pressure by using a gas burner as a heat source. The engine is...
