Modelling and optimization of High Temperature Difference (HTD) gamma-type Stirling engine prototype

Modelling and optimization of High Temperature Difference (HTD) gamma-type Stirling engine prototype

Finding solutions for increasing energy demands is being globally pursued. One of the promising solutions is the utilization of renewable forms of energy with thermo-mechanical conversion systems such as Stirling engines. Nowadays, effort is made in industry and academia to promote the development o...
