List, It's not every day that a novel beta drive linkage can be seen. Even more rare is one that provides for near linear connecting rod attachments and volume...
Leo you did indeed find an error. The formula for the diameter of the regenerator housing does NOT take into account the area increase by the porosity factor. ...

Great Tom... I think the spreadsheet is very useful. ¿Is there any shareware version or test version of these programs (like SNAP or PROSA)? Thanks... Leo ......
... Hmmm "some interesting bits"...rather some awesome bits! Thanks Chris, I've never seen this paper before. Now for anyone who thinks this report is...
Replies inline. ... <snippage> ... This is an interesting point. After reading your other posts on regenerator load I can see that this curve would indeed...
... Chris: This is an interesting point. After reading your other posts on regenerator load I can see that this curve would indeed change with working gas....
In "The Stirling Alternative" G Walker et al compare working fluids by comparing heat transfer per pressure drop for different gasses in a circular duct with...
I just re-read what I wrote and it is a little cryptic, so let me clarify. The only reason that heat transfer is a problem in an engine is that it costs...
i have a question : from all the videos that i have seen it appears that when the heater is turned to 'higher' .. the stirling reacts by becoming faster .. and...
the heat that drives the expansion doesn't come from the regenerator, it comes from the hot end heat exchanger. If you put cold gas in the hot cylinder then...
Bad form to reply to your own post, but I know that Lee won't let me ... The heat that drives the expansion is ANY heat that gets into the gas. But in the...
... [Matt] Maybe bad form to answer your own question, but not to clarify post (think edit). OP: the heat that drives the expansion doesn't come from the ...
hello chris and matt at 54 yrs age and discussing in all kinds of groups, i have a fair idea of the 'focus' and 'agenda' of groups .. some have wide and ...
You are right matt I should have said "no expansion during temperature change" or " no expansion during isothermal heating" plus "work being done only during ...
I was bot trying to say that you didn't do a good job of familiarizing yourself, I have enjoyed your posts. The point is that what matters is the enthalpy of...
peekay This topic is some what off topic. What you are discussing is not a Stirling Cycle engine and is not within the spirit of common practical Stirling...
I think this is a key point. If you remember that entropy is Qdt, and that entropy is essentially lost work, then any big dt kills you as far as efficiency....
... oops...Otto & Brayton attempt to lower S via adiabatics, however, a majority of these cycles heat is typically supplied either Cv or Cp which include S. ...
hello matt question : 'staged' heating in your post means the heating going thru the regenerator ? and 'unstaged' means not going thru the regen ? ..peekay ...
2nd question : 'ultimate' burden of regen may be lower entropy ? what exactly does this mean in context of my first query .. about sending gas at room temp by...
... hi peekay, Few know it was Rankine (mid 19th century) that found gamma function of gas, however, he's well known for early work on entropy. Interestingly,...
hello matt thank you for clarifying .. i will look forward to your posts based on your ref to SE staging .. and quantifying this stuff ..peekay (BASIC research...
most humbly and with a lot of due respect to the nice and undoubtedly very qualified experts here, i crave a bit of indulgence entropy .. at 54 yrs, i may...
My understanding is that the Stirling IS staged - the gas goes through a large number of small dT heatings as it goes through the regenerator. So the gas has...
peekay YES, You have it very very badly wrong. You appear to be making a number of errors but most importantly, you seem to be confusing Entropy with...
