Re: Operating a Stirling Engine Inside a Pressure Vessel

So I have several questions on doing this. Firstly, will a pressure of about 87 psi (6 bar) crush a regular Stirling engine, or will the external pressure inside the Stirling engine balance out? I am using a new Cornelius keg (rated for 130 psi) as a pressure vessel. It has a opening of 4 3/4 inche...

Re: "Hi" We are new here!

Following suit: My name is Charlie and I am one of four mechanical engineering seniors working on a project to develop a Stirling for stationary electricity generation. I put a post up on the main website, but I thought that this couldn't hurt either! Our project will look into simulating some of th...
