The impact of heat exchanger fouling on the optimum operation and maintenance of the Stirling engine

This paper focuses on the effect of heat exchanger fouling on the performance of the Stirling engine in combined heat and power (CHP) application. Fouling results from using biomass fuels and affects the heat exchanger that transfers heat into the engine. This heat exchanger is referred to as the heater. The heat exchanger that recovers heat from the flue gases is also affected by fouling. To determine the performance of the Stirling engine, a commercial Stirling analysis tool is applied together with models that have been developed for the heat transfer in the heater, regenerator and cooler of the engine. The Stirling engine model uses constant temperatures for the heat addition and rejection, with the theory of displacement engine as a basis. The fouling in the heat exchanger is taken into account by using a fouling factor that corresponds with the degradation in the total heat transfer coefficient. The Stirling engine model together with the model for heat exchanger fouling makes it possible to estimate the effect of fouling on the performance of the Stirling engine. A cost model is developed for the engine to translate changes in performance into economy in CHP operation. In the studied application, the Stirling engine is operated by the heat demand. Together with the selected control method, performance and cost models compose a tool for the simulation and optimization of the system. The use of the models to determine the optimal cleaning interval of the heat exchanger surfaces is considered.     

Efficiency bound of a solar-driven stirling heat engine system

A solar-driven Stirling engine is modelled as a combined system which consists of a solar collector and a Stirling engine. The performance of the system is investigated, based on the linearized heat loss model of the solar collector and the irreverisible cycle model of the Stirling engine affected by finite-rate heat transfer and regenerative losses. The maximum efficiency of the system and the optimal operating temperature of the solar collector are determined. Moreover, it is pointed out that the investigation method in the present paper is valid for other heat loss models of the solar collector as well, and the results obtained are also valid for a solar-driven Ericsson engine system using an ideal gas as its engine work substance. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Thermodynamic optimization of Stirling heat engine with methane gas using finite speed thermodynamic model

With the daily rise in environmental issues due to the use of conventional fuels, researchers are motivated to use renewable energy sources. One of such waste heat and low-temperature differential driven energy sources is the Stirling engine. The performance of the Stirling engine can be improved by finding out the optimum operating and geometrical parameters with suitable working gas and thermal model. Based on this motivation, the current work focuses on the multiobjective optimization of the Stirling engine using the finite speed thermodynamic model and methane gas as the working fluid. Considering output power and pressure drop as two objective functions, the system is optimized using 11 geometrical and thermal design parameters. The optimization results are obtained in the form of the Pareto frontier. A sensitivity assessment is carried out to observe the decision variables, which are having a more sensitive effect on the optimization objectives. Optimization results reveal that 99.83% change in power output and 78% change in total pressure drop can take place in the two-dimensional optimization space. The optimal solution closest to the ideal solution has output power and pressure drop values as 12.31 kW and 22.76 kPa, respectively.     

Influence of several irreversible losses on the performance of a ferroelectric Stirling refrigeration-cycle

An irreversible cycle model of the Stirling refrigeration-cycle, using a ferroelectric material as the working substance, is established. Several irreversibilities due to thermal resistances between the working substance and the heat reservoirs, regenerative losses in two regenerative processes, and heat-leak loss between the heat reservoirs are taken into account. The influence of these irreversible losses on the performance of the ferroelectric Stirling refrigeration-cycle is analyzed, based on a general expression of the polarization of ferroelectric materials and a linear heat-transfer law. The cooling rate is optimized for a given power input. Some fundamental optimal relations and general performance characteristic curves of the cycle are obtained. The maximum cooling rate and other relevant performance parameters are determined. Some special cases are discussed in detail. When the regenerative losses are neglected, the results obtained may be directly used to describe the optimal performance of a ferroelectric Carnot refrigeration-cycle. Moreover, it is expounded that the calculated results are very general and also suitable for the ferroelectric Stirling and Carnot refrigeration cycles whose working substances obey the Curie–Weiss law and Curie law.     

Power generation from a new air-based Marnoch heat engine

This paper examines the performance of a new Marnoch heat engine, which uses dry air and a pneumatic piston assembly to convert thermal energy to electricity. The system has unique capabilities of operating over temperature differentials less than 100 K. Unlike a common Stirling engine, the heat exchangers and piston assembly are not co-located, which is beneficial for positioning of heat exchangers in various configurations. This paper presents an operational laboratory-scale, proof-of-concept Marnoch heat engine (MHE), including its performance and power generation capabilities. It also presents a thermodynamic analysis of the system. Based on the MHE results, component modifications are made to improve its performance. The configuration has an efficiency of about thirty percent of a Carnot heat engine operating in the temperature range between 272 K and 372 K. Experimental data is acquired to provide verification of the predictive model, as well as demonstration of the MHE’s capabilities for efficient generation of electricity from waste heat sources.
