A Stirling Engine is submitted to a load by means of an adjustable torque meter, or by a coupled generator. Rotation frequency and temperature changes of the Stirling engine are observed. Effective mechanical energy and power, as well as effective electrical power, are assessed as a function of rotation frequency. The amount of energy converted to work per cycle can be determined with the assistance of the pV diagram.
With this kit you can determine the burner’s thermal efficiency. With the addition of an oscilloscope, the total energy produced by the engine can be calculated through determination of the cycle area by using transparent paper and coordinate paper. The mechanical work per revolution can be assessed and the mechanical power output can be calculated as a function of the rotation frequency, with the assistance of the torque meter. Assess the electric power output as a function of the rotation frequency. By placing the torque meter through the engine/generator unit the efficiency of the Stirling engine can be estimated. Measurements are recorded by the included pVn sensor unit.
