A low temperature ratio Stirling engine analysis required for cost effective, less environment harmfulness andmore efficient power generation for this temperature ratio. A new and complete model for a Stirling engine has beenestablished. This computerized model predicts the behavior of existing engines reasonably accurately for cases where aquantitative comparison is available. In order to obtain a closed solution suitable for design optimization a model for aStirling engine has been derived considering different types of losses in this engine. This new model has sufficientaccuracy for prediction of the behavior a real engine and its results are quit close to the complete model predictions.A general method of Stirling engine design optimization is presented. This method, which is based on the computerizedmodel, separately optimizes each components of the engine. Different correlations are used to determine optimumgeometry for each of the heat-exchangers, based on Mach number, Reynolds numbers, operating temperature ratio, andheat exchanger dead volume. This optimization method utilizes derived results for optimum swept volume ratio, phaseangle difference between the cylinder displacements, bore-stroke ratio, and engine speed
