Help regarding stirling engine design

Post by yousafzaiamazai »

Can anybody help me regarding my stirling engine design for my final year project I am designing a 2 power and 2 displacer cylinder alpha type with two slider crank design. I am having trouble in mathematical modeling as I can not find any mathematical equations or models in literature. Please need an urgent help

I'm not sure what you mean by "slider crank". Are you talking about the connecting rods?

Typically in an Alpha type Stirling the linkages would be as shown here:
