My reading of Organ's book is that the "natural coordinate" grid it sets up is a combination of euler and langrangian coordinates, and this property makes it...
Hi Marco, In your optimization work have you looked at using response surface methodology based on non-dimensionalized existing engines to find a starting...
Chris, I know I am over my head but would you help me understand what you just said ? Tom ... From: the_maniacal_engineer To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Saitama University No offence to Rick, I am just a stickler for spelling on Japanese stuff (double major in Japanese) Please excuse the padantry. Hirata has...
Sure, Sorry if I am being a little obscure. most optimization is based on higher dimensional gradient following. Each design variable represents one dimension,...
I know that I am posting a flurry of stuff, after like a week or so of nothing. My house burned two weeks ago (19 Jan, 9:30 PM) and we lost the roof, but no...
Chris, I believe I am on the edge of understanding this concept. Take the variables of the virtual Stirling equation as derived by AJO and the 'dimensions'...

Hello, I will be interested to know where I can buy the koichi Hirata book. Regards Daniel ... From: "the_maniacal_engineer" <chris.stratford@...> To:...
I got it from the Asahi bookstore hee in San Diego. It was about 60.00US$. It is in Japanese, and i was able to save my copy since it was in a plastic bag and...
lets say that instead of many variable we have only two, and from those two we calculate a merit function, which we want to minimize. if the two design...
... Earth to Tom: that's insult to injury & NOT funny. I should know, I live in the SoCal 'town' where most of this surfer talk originates long before...
hi list, does anyone has an idea how can i estimate the heat amount getting into the cylinder. im using a gas burner on a quartz(type of glass) cylinder. ...
Yoav, Quartz is relatively pure Silica (SiO2). I believe it's not called "glass" until other materials are added to lower the melting point. I recommend...
I have no data about existing engines, I was never able to find detailed data; I have tried something though about optimization coupled with "adimensionalized"...
Hi Tom, yes Chris is right, adimensional approach allows you to deal with a lower number of variables usually accepting some simplifications; this is of great ...
Yoav, Are you using quartz cylinders? I have been experimenting with borosylicate glass (pyrex) for my cylinders as I am trying to keep the heat from...
ii yo. Shimpai shinaide kudasai Don't worry about it. I didn't take it as an insult, since the japanese that was with it was very clear in its good intent....
MP's comments brought up the thought that simplifying beyond the realities of heat transfer may be relatively useless in predicting performance, even when...
hi james, im using the auartz cylinder just for the displacer housing. the displacer will hopefully "float" inside the cylinder so roundness is not a big issue...

Maybe from what I see I'm in over my head, y'all seem to be WAY beyond hobby. Anyway. I'm in Mississippi, just purchased my first engine from a very nice...
Greetings group, I have a copy of Hargreaves book "The Philips Stirling Engine" in pdf format which I am able to share for the purpose of "Scholarship and ...
hi list how can i estimate the rpm im my engine. i got a burner on the hot side and fins in the cold one my engine is (going to be) beta with rhombic drive....
Beeryy, To determine this, download a copy of the GCS and plug in the values for everything except RPM and it will estimate RPM. Tom ... From: beeryy2006 To:...
Tom, GCS? I know of the Gas Constant Calculator, but that would be GCC? Is there another analysis app that I have missed? James ... From: Tom Gentry To:...
James, I cannot fathom how you missed knowing about the GCS spread sheet. The GCS also known as the Gas Circuit Calculator (Scaling) is in the files section...
