Abstract
The free piston Stirling engine (FPSE) is a couple system of dynamics and thermodynamics. Due to the complicated and interactive relationships between the dynamic parameters and thermodynamic parameters, the performance of the FPSE is always difficult to predict and evaluate. The phasor notation method is proposed based on a thermodynamic-dynamic coupled model of a beta-type FPSE in this paper. The output power and efficiency under the different heating temperature and charging pressure are analysed and compared. In addition, based on the Sage numerical model, the influences of heating temperature and charging pressure on the pistons’ displacement amplitudes, power work and efficiency are revealed. This study can provide the assistance for the performance analysis, prediction and optimization of the FPSE.
