Design, Modeling, and Experimental Validation of a Stirling Engine with a Controlled Displacer Piston

This work presents the design, first-principles model, and experimental setup of a Stirling pressurizer. The Stirling pressurizer is a Stirling engine with an independently controlled displacer piston. The directly controlled, loose-fit displacer is actuated with a small linear motor and moves the p...
