Abstract
We have tried to develop a heat recovery system with a Stirling engine generator. The engine operates with exhaust gas from a Diesel engine as the heat source. Because the exhaust gas has low temperature, the working gas temperature strongly affects to the engine performance. So it is important to predict the gas temperature accurately in the engine design stage. In this paper, we report the comparisons between the calculated results by an isothermal simulation model with heat transfer of heat exchangers and the experimental results of the Stirling engine.
