Numerical Optimization of a Four-Cylinder Double-Acting Stirling Engine Based on Non-Ideal Adiabatic Thermodynamic Model and SCGM Method

The aim of this study is to optimize a four-cylinder, double-acting α-type Stirling engine with wobble-yoke mechanism using an optimization scheme incorporated with an efficient thermodynamic model. In this study, the non-ideal adiabatic thermodynamic model is improved by taking into account factors...
