Just to let the group know that Mike Phillips has made some excellent additions to the GCS that formats the data for stim.exe to read and also he developed a...
... Sorry I took so long to respond to this idea but I missed it in the first few readings of your reply. Someone, possibly Schmidt himself, optimized the...
Hello, Looking at the info on the equations behind the Stim software it is designed to calculate the performance of Alpha engines. Does anyone know if it can...
John, Yes, I ran across this exact issue recently, and basically, I believe 'Stim' is applicable to beta and gamma types. (This is in the literature,...
Mike, Yes there is a way to use an alpha program on a gamma engine or even a beta engine. Through a series of computations the equivalent alpha configuration...
Tom et al, I think what you guys are talking about is the "thermodynamic phase angle and the kinematic phase angle" relationships. I think I have that right. ...
Arch, Thanks for the reminder. As Dr. Strickland has my 'Air Engines', I think I should track him down and see what we can find. I am also recalling...
Brand new to the group. Retired mechanical engineer. Been reading many papers and books on Stirlings in the past few months. Re; "Air Engines" T. FInkelstein...
On the HAES list I asked if there was an optimum volume for a beta engine's pressurized crankcase and got a cautionary note about being aware of the stored...
John: The links don't/won't work from sites not associated with "Angelfire." Perhaps post in Files and Photos sections here. My take on crankcase volume is to...

Thanks, Stan. Help for the computer illiterati always appreciated here! It appears I don't have permission to put files up in SESUSA, but I do in HAES. So go...
On the HAES list there was a discussion of displacer configuration and drag and ht xfr and such. I thought it would be interesting to do a comparison of...
I did it for you John. They are in our files section now. Tom btw: Angelfire is difficult to work with! ... here! ... do in ... my ... things, ... don't ... ...

Hi John, Well, probably not anytime soon. Perhaps you could get Archibald to look at it. Since this is a HAES discussion it probably ought to remain a thread...
John It is as you say "nonsense". From a theoretical thermodynamic standpoint, what gas and how much of it there is in the how big of a crankcase issue is...
I would suggest a design for an adiabatic crankcase, since an adiabatic process is reversible and isentropic. That shouldn't be too difficult, since in the...
To all of my faithful helpers and contributors, As we near the end of the year it is again time to assess 'where are we?' in the progress of things. I am...

I just realized that my mail was bouncing on this group, so I also am late in responding. There is of course no way to have a zero volume heat exchanger, but I...
Hi Tom, How are you? ... I'm not sure exactly where the disconnect happened, but I'll try to clarify my point. I was just talking about an adiabatic gas...
Tom, I guess I got hung-up a bit on the issue of the gamma-to-alpha translation. Was that recent discussion topic ever resolved? I mean, I had assumed that...
MP, Hmmm.... yes we did leave that dangling. OK let's go ahead finish your project for the Alpha configuration and I will go find the formulas for converting...
