Book Chapter
The ‘hot air’ engine
2013
Overview
What follows in this chapter relates to any Stirling engine, but the principal value lies in application to the simple hot‐air configuration – for example, to the vertical, coaxial layout. The heat dissipation provision emerges as the thermal bottleneck of the hot air engine. All variants of the Stirling engine exploit forced, convective heat transfer – a physical phenomenon carrying an inevitable penalty – pumping power. Best performance, whether achieved by experiment, through theory, or by both in combination, relies on striking a favourable balance between these two conflicting effects. The value – indeed, the validity – of the method depends essentially on the relevance of steady‐flow heat transfer and flow friction correlations to conditions in the regenerative annulus.
