Paper Details

Walker reported charts for the Stirling Cycle machine, for cryocooler as well as for engines. The charts werederived from Schmidt's analysis and were based on the ideal working of the cycle. In practice, the operating cycle of theStirling cycle machine is complex but with certain assumption it could be shown to be the function of six independentparameters, four forms a combination, which gives the design configuration of the machine. This paper aims at finding out thiscombination for different machines using a realistic way of the analysis of the Stirling cycle machines. Also, a detailedgeneralized design procedure of the cryocooler is included. The loss analysis also is the important aspect of the cyclicanalysis. The different losses that are responsible for the increase in the power input to the system and decrease in theavailable refrigeration effect are calculated and the net values of power supply, QP and refrigeration effect, QA, are obtained. Thelosses in the refrigeration effect apart from the system working parameters are also dependent on the configuration anddimension of the component. This indicates very clearly that the cyclic analysis without consideration of configurationdependent losses is not enough
