Stirling engine noise

Hello, Is there a difference between Stirling engine types (Alpha, Beta or Gamma) and the noise they produce? I am doing some literature study and it is not really clear to me. I personally think that the Beta type will make less noise because it only has one cylinder. Thanks in advance and with bes...

Re: Beta stirling engine simulator

I am making several changes: - Temperature should be set as Kelvin. However, DegC and DegF are also displayed. - The default design parameters are also added. An can be bypassed using checkboxes. - A iterator is added. This gives the possibility to change variables e.g. average pressure from the cur...

Re: Rhombic drive calculations

Hello Ian, I think I need to rephrase my question.I was referring to the calculations of the rhombic drive itself. I found a nice article that describes how a rhombic drive works and how to calculate certain values: Article . Rhombic drive overview.png Rhombic drive - Base parameters.png What calcul...

Hello,

I want to design a rhombic drive for my beta sterling engine.

I've did a lot of research however am not able to find a clear approach on how to do the calculations.

Anyone who can help me?

With best regards,

Beta stirling engine simulator

Hello, I am going to build a beta stirling engine. Prior to building it I am making a Simulator program in C# based on the Schmidt cycle ( Schmidt theory ). Mainly to learn Stirling theory and to gain more programming experience. On the following page I found some design criteria: http://www.stirlin...
