  2. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    A Stirling engine is a heat engine that is operated by the cyclic expansion and contraction of air or other gas (the working fluid) by exposing it to different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. [1] [2]

  3. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the...

    A Stirling engine eliminates the need for water anywhere in the cycle. This would have advantages for nuclear installations in dry regions. United States government labs have developed a modern Stirling engine design known as the Stirling radioisotope generator for use in space exploration. It is designed to generate electricity for deep space ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Ridders

    Until 2007 he had been building steam engine models, but then turned to more elaborate and unusual Heat Engines, especially vacuum engines such as the flame thrower, Stirling and Rankyne engines (closed cycle Butane based steam engines). He has also been building models of unusual 2 stroke and 4 stroke motors.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNR_Stirling_4-2-2

    Stirling therefore used outside cylinders, with a four-wheeled bogie for lateral stability at the front end. According to Hamilton Ellis's description, entitled 'Pat Stirling's masterpiece,' the design was a version of a 2-2-2 built by Stirling for the Glasgow and South Western Railway, "considerably enlarged, and provided with a leading bogie ...

  7. Rhombic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_drive

    It was originally developed around 1900 for the twin-cylinder Lanchester car engine where it allowed perfect balancing of the inertial forces on both pistons. A current example of its use is on beta type-Stirling engines; the drive's complexity and tight tolerances, causing a high cost of manufacture, is a hurdle for the widespread usage of this drive.

  8. Stirling cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_cycle

    The Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices. This includes the original Stirling engine that was invented, developed and patented in 1816 by Robert Stirling with help from his brother, an engineer .

  9. Beale number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beale_Number

    In mechanical engineering, the Beale number is a parameter that characterizes the performance of Stirling engines. [1] It is often used to estimate the power output of a Stirling engine design. For engines operating with a high temperature differential, typical values for the Beale number are in the range 0.11−0.15; where a larger number ...
