Say I have 2 hypothetical engines. One is IC; one is stirling. I know the output of the IC engine (it says on the side) and I want to know roughly how much the...

Yes, but is that equation reasonably valid? "Power in watts= (2x pressure x > absolute temperature ratio x compression ratio x cross-sectional area of power...
no they are not valid. the constraints given indicate a dearth of Stirling understanding. I recommend reading a great deal more before more posts. Tom ... ...
Create a Stirling engine using the GCS with these parameters: Gas=Nitrogen(3) Power Out= 2150 RPM=3600 Vswept=250cc Pmean=? (blank) The GCS gave me about 1MPA...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the long and thorough reply. In general, I agree with you on the function Organ's scaling method/GCS provides, and the role it plays now...

list, To correct myself on what I said last time about the Beale and West numbers, apparently they don't change much with gas type, because the change in power...
I didn't know we were debating. I thought I was telling you how it is. Since I wrote the GCS, I have a rather patronistic attitude about how it works. I don't...
Nick, I think you missed the Stirling here! It is transparent, so that's partly understandable. It';s an example of the very-low delta- T engines originally...
Pardon my attitude, but why are most Stirlings made real small? Are there no engines that can power a 20KW generator available in plan form on the Internet? ...
There are about the same number as the IC generators of that size. 0 ... From: Hal Davison To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 1:45 AM ...
Hal, Commercial 20 kW Stirlings seem to cost more than people want to put out for free on the internet. ($5,000-$10,000/kWe?) I have seen the 35 kWe and 85 kWe...

Javier, There is a wood-cut print of the Stirling Brother's engine in "Air Engines" by Finklestien and Organ. This engine powered a factory in Dundee....
You misunderstand the specifics of the application that the fan will be used in. Heat sink temps on modern CPU's chip under load are in the vicinity of 30 to...
It appears that the real value of the stirling in that application isn't the fan. Instead, it's the hot end serving as a significant heat sink, with the fan a...
