  2. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    A Stirling engine cannot start instantly; it literally needs to "warm up". This is true of all external combustion engines, but the warm up time may be longer for Stirlings than for others of this type such as steam engines. Stirling engines are best used as constant speed engines.

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

    Kitmaster produced an injection moulded plastic kit of the Stirling Single in the 1950s. David Boyle, founder of Dapol Model Railways, recalls seeing the moulds being destroyed in the early 1980s, leading him to purchase the tooling for and reissue the remaining Kitmaster kits. [citation needed] Aster Hobby introduced Gauge1 live steam model in ...

  4. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

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

    There is a potential for nuclear-powered Stirling engines in electric power generation plants. Replacing the steam turbines of nuclear power plants with Stirling engines might simplify the plant, yield greater efficiency, and reduce the radioactive byproducts. A number of breeder reactor designs use liquid sodium as a coolant. If the heat is to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_Single

    The locomotive was withdrawn in 1935, by which time it was the last single-wheeled express engine running in Britain, and set aside for preservation. [1] This engine could reach speeds of up to 60 mph (97 km/h). [2] Restored to steam by British Railways in 1958, [3] it ran railtours and enthusiast specials until the end of steam in Scotland.

  6. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

    External combustion engines can run on any high-temperature heat source. These engines include the Stirling engine, hot "gas" turbocharger, and the steam engine. Both range from 10%-20% efficiency, and as of 2014, small quantities are in production for micro-CHP products.

  7. 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 ...
