25-year-old Rudolf Diesel Diesel's patent DRP 67 207. Theory and Construction of a Rational Heat Motor (German: Theorie und Konstruktion eines rationellen Wärmemotors zum Ersatz der Dampfmaschine und der heute bekannten Verbrennungsmotoren; English: Theory and construction of a rational heat motor with the purpose of replacing the steam engine and the internal combustion engines known today ...
The hot end of the Stirling converter reached 650 °C and heated helium drove a free piston reciprocating in a linear alternator, heat being rejected at the cold end of the engine. The alternating current (AC) generated by the alternator was then converted to 55 watts direct current (DC). Each ASRG unit would use two Stirling converter units ...
It is often claimed that the Stirling engine has too low a power/weight ratio, too high a cost, and too long a starting time for automotive applications. They also have complex and expensive heat exchangers. A Stirling cooler must reject twice as much heat as an Otto engine or diesel engine radiator. The heater must be made of stainless steel ...
The motor size constant and motor velocity constant (, alternatively called the back EMF constant) are values used to describe characteristics of electrical motors. Motor constant [ edit ]
The blue solid line shows the heat flowing out of the cooler heat exchanger. The heat from the cooler and the work from the compression piston have the same cycle energy. This is consistent with the zero-net heat transfer of the regenerator (solid green line). As would be expected, the heater and the expansion space both have positive energy flow.
Designing Stirling engine heat exchangers is a balance between high heat transfer with low viscous pumping losses, and low dead space (unswept internal volume). Engines that operate at high powers and pressures require that heat exchangers on the hot side be made of alloys that retain considerable strength at high temperatures and that don't ...
Summer 2023 saw record-breaking heat, and, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 90% of the 120,000 heat-related emergency room visits in the United States last year took ...

A hot air engine [1] (historically called an air engine or caloric engine [2]) is any heat engine that uses the expansion and contraction of air under the influence of a temperature change to convert thermal energy into mechanical work.
