Pollution Less Engine: Name - Saif Anwar

The document discusses the Stirling engine, an external combustion engine invented by Robert Stirling in 1816 as a safer alternative to steam engines. It describes how the Stirling engine works using the expansion and contraction of a gas through heating and cooling. Some advantages of the Stirling engine are its high theoretical efficiency, ability to use various heat sources, environmental friendliness, and safer operation at lower pressures than steam turbines.

POLLUTION LESS ENGINE

Inventor: Robert Stirling (1790 -
1878)

Sought to replace the steam


turbines of his days due to frequent
explosion caused by unsustainable
high pressure killing and injuring
workers

Invented Stirling engine in 1816


which could not explode and
produce more power than steam
engine used.
 Device that converts heat energy to mechanical power by
alternately compressing and expanding a fixed quantity of
working fluid at different temperatures.

 Regeneration as alternative.
• Power piston – small tightly sealed piston that moves up when the gas
inside the engine expands

• Displacer – larger piston and it is very loose in its cylinder so air can
move easily between the heated cooled sections of the engine as the
displacer moves up and down

• These piston move by the action of compression and expansion.

• Difference in pressure causes the piston to move and produce power.


I. One side of the engine is continuously heated while the other side
is continuously cooled.

II. First, the air moves to the hot side, where it is heated and it
expands pushing up on a piston.

III. Then the air moves through the regenerator to the cold side, where
it cools off and contracts pulling down on the piston.

IV. Temperature change inside the engine produces the pressure


change needed to push on the piston and make the engine run.
 Theoretically
 Stirling engine efficiency = Carnot efficiency
 Unfortunately working fluid or gas is not ideal this causes
the efficiency to be lower than Carnot efficiency.

 In fact, Stirling engine efficiency depends on


 Temperature ratio (proportionally)
 Pressure ratio (inversely proportional)
 Specific heat ratio (inversely proportional)
 Various heat sources (solar, geothermal, nuclear energy, waste heat,
biological)

 Environmental friendly

 Heat is external and the burning of a fuel-air mixture can be more


accurately controlled.

 Operates at relatively low pressure and thus are much safer than
typical steam turbines

 Less manpower needed to operate any type of commercial Stirling


 The price : its cost is probably the most important problem, it is not
yet competitive with other means well established.
 The ignorance of this type of engine by the general public. Only a
few fans know it exists. It is therefore necessary to promote it.
 The variety of models prevents standardization and, consequently,
lower prices.
 Sealing problems
 Heat transfers with a gas are delicate and often require bulky
apparatuses.
 The lack of flexibility.
 Water pump stations
 Combined heat and power plant
 Solar power generation
 Stirling cyrocoolers
 Heat pump
 Marine engines
 Nuclear power
 Aircraft engines
 Micro CHP
 TheStirling engine is noted for its high efficiency compared to
steam engines, quiet operation, and the ease with which it can use
almost any heat source.

 Thisengine is currently exciting interest as the core component of


micro combined heat and power (CHP) units, in which it is more
efficient and safer than a comparable steam engine.
