Analysis of Stirling Engine Performance

This document presents an analysis of Stirling engine performance simulation. The simulation models the thermodynamic cycle using a revised 2nd order analysis that accounts for thermal losses. It also simulates burner performance and combines this with the cycle analysis and calculations of mechanical losses. Experimental results on a 3kW Stirling engine are presented and show good agreement with simulation results, validating the simulation. The simulation can predict engine performance parameters like shaft power, fuel input, and thermal efficiency under different operating conditions.
