Q
what is a sterling engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A Stirling Engine is a type of heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperatures such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.
It was invented and patented by Robert Stirling in 1816, this engine is noted for its high efficiency compared to steam engines, quiet operation, and the ability to use almost any heat source.
The heat energy source should be able to create a temperature difference between parts of the engine for it to function. This makes the Stirling Engine ideal for applications where a quiet and efficient engine is needed, such as in submarines, or when the power source is solar energy.
