The Stirling Engine at my Institute
Very close to Carnot Engine
This one is one type of heat engine , the working substance is trapped air in lower can , when we provide heat to the bottom of lower can the air inside it expands so it thrust the cylinder inside it and it is connected by nylon thread and the thread is connected to iron wire which is connected to crank shaft , there is another small cylinder made of plastic elbow covered with rubber from medical gloves the expanded air pushes the piston up and the hot air goes to upper part of the can , where it cools and it goes down further and heats up further , the process repeats . If we want to increase the efficiency of the engine we should adjust heat sink on upper part of the lower can (for this we can use thick cotton thread (nara-chhadi) and spraying water so it absorbs heat
A Stirling engine is a heat engine that is operated by a cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, resulting in a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.More specifically, the Stirling engine is a closed-cycle regenerative heat engine with a permanently gaseous working fluid. Closed-cycle, in this context, means a thermodynamic system in which the working fluid is permanently contained within the system, and regenerative describes the use of a specific type of internal heat exchanger and thermal store, known as the regenerator. Strictly speaking, the inclusion of the regenerator is what differentiates a Stirling engine from other closed cycle hot air engines.
