Measurement and modeling of in-cylinder heat transfer with inflow-produced turbulence

In-cylinder heat transfer is important to the performance of many reciprocating energy conversion machines. It is particularly important to the performance of Stirling machines. For cylinder spaces without inflow, heat transfer and related power losses can be predicted using an analytical model whi...
