3. •Best teaching and learning for any engineering students
device especially in the field of THERMAL ENGINEERING
•An innovation with hundreds of application.
•An innovation with a mission to save the earth.
•Fuel independency.
4. •A Stirling engine is a heat engine
operating by cyclic compression and
expansion of air or other gas, the
working fluide, at different temperature
levels such that there is a net
conversion of heat energy to
mechanical work.
5. HISTORY
•The Stirling engine was
invented and patented
by Robert Stirling in 1816
•Here he decided to
invent a new engine
•His parish worked the
steam engines
7. •Displacer wood material size 4*6cm
•Cylinder aluminium material size
5*8cm
•Crank shafts 11cm stainless steel
•Connecting rods lite material like
wood
•Flywheel cd or wood
9. •One side of the engine is continuously heated
•First, the air moves to the hot side, where it is heated
and it expands pushing up on a piston
•When the other side air is cool down and compress
piston moves down wards side of the engine
11. •This compatibility with alternative and renewable energy
sources has become increasingly significant as the price of
conventional fuels rises, and also in light of concerns such
as peak oil and climate change.
13. •Stirling engines can run directly on any available heat
source, not just one produced by combustion, so they can run
on heat from solar, geothermal, biological, nuclear sources or
waste heat from industrial processes
The main subject of Stirling's original patent was a heat exchanger which he called an "economiser" for its enhancement of fuel economy in a variety of applications
WE WORKED ON BETA TYPE STIRLING ENGINE
The two piston alpha type design has pistons in independent cylinders, and gas is driven between the hot and cold spaces.
The displacement type Stirling engines, known as beta types
This is model componet we used so its all materials are not same but something like this …..
Displacer
The displacer is a special-purpose piston, used in Beta type Stirling engines, to move the working gas back and forth between the hot and cold heat exchanger
