키트형 스털링 엔진의 제작 및 작동기법에 관한 평가

Heat engines operating on the stirling cycle are the one of most efficient practical machines ever built, which was invented by Rev Robert Stirling in 1816. And has the potential to be much more efficient than a gasoline or diesel engine. However, stirling engines are used only in some very specialized applications, so like in submarines or auxiliary power generators for yachts, where quiet operation is important. Although there hasn't been successful mass-market application for the stirling engine, some very high-power inventors are working on it. stirling cycle consists of hot and cold plates, regenerator and so on, with four processes which arc named isovolumetric heating, isothermal expansion, isovolumetric cooling, and isothermal compression. In this study, a temperature difference between hot and cold plate and supplied heat transfer and RPM by the modeling of kit-type stirling engine were measured, Morecver, torque and efficiency acquired by the data in this experiment were evaluated. From the results, the kit-type stirling engine showed low power output, i.e. small torque.
