The
HEAT
EXCHANGER;
A heat
exchanger is a balance between high
heat transfer with low viscous pumping
losses and low dead spaces
HEAT
DISPLACER; A displacer is a
special type piston used in beta and
gamma engines to move working gas
back and forth between hot and cold
exchangers.
Configurations of stirling
engine
There are 2 configurations in stirling
engines;
They are explained below
ALPHA TYPE : consists of two pistons in
independent cylinders and gas driven
between hot and cold places.
The alpha stirling engine is shown below

processes
1. phase Isothermal compression, the heat is
transferred to neighbourhood at temperature T
2. phase Transfer or Isochoric compression,
the heat is received from regenerator to working
medium
3. phase Isothermal expansion, the heat is
received from neighbourhood at temperature T2
4. phase Transfer or Isochoric expansion, the
heat is transferred from the working gas to the
regenerator
Expansion
Most of the gas in the system has just
been driven into the hot cylinder. The gas
heats and expands driving both pistons
inward.
Transfer
The gas has expanded. Most of the gas
(about 2/3) is still located in the hot
cylinder. Flywheel momentum carries the
crankshaft the next 90 degrees,
transferring the bulk of the gas to the cool
cylinder.
Contraction
The majority of the expanded gas has
shifted to the cool cylinder. It cools and
contracts, drawing both pistons outward.
Transfer
The contracted gas is still located in the
cool cylinder. Flywheel momentum carries
the crank another 90 degrees,
transferring the gas to back to the hot
cylinder to complete the cycle.
Characteristics of the
cycle
Unlike internal combustion engines, a
Stirling cycle does not exchange the
working gas in each cycle, the gas is
permanent
The heat is supplied outside the engine,
so any heat source can be used, e.g.: coal,
gas, solar energy, nuclear power, etc
The pressure changes are very smooth
and its torque is uniform

PROBLEM PROVIDED
A system executes a cyclic process consisting of a 4 processes . Assume
air as a system. At state point 1 the pressure is 97 KN/mand 50C. A
compression process is taking place following the law to reach the state
2. The volume of the system at state 2 is reduced by 5 times the initial
volume . Then the system is heated at constant volume by adding heat
of 930KJ/Kg. Find the temperature and pressure at state point 3.
From state point 3 the system expands according to the law to reach
state point 4 . Then heat is removed from the system at constant
volume at the rate of 488KJ/Kg till it comes back to its initial volume at
state point 3 and 4 . Find the net work and heat interaction. Find the
mean effective pressure. Is it done by the system or done on the system?
Take for air =1.4 and =1 KJ/Kg K. If the cycle is reversed find COP of the
system . Draw the p-v and T-s diagrams .
