Abstract

This paper develops the dynamics and thermodynamics of Stirling engines that run with temperature differences below 100 °C. The working gas pressure is analytically expressed using an alternative thermodynamic cycle. The shaft dynamics is studied using its rotational equation of motion. It is found that the initial volumes of the cold and hot working gas play a non-negligible role in the functioning of the engine.
