The vibration mechanism of a water-type Stirling engine is studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis indicates that the effect of the loss coefficients is negligible, and the nonlinear equations derived in the previous paper are simplified. The experimental studies indicate that the vapor pressure in wet conditions plays an important role in the vibration characteristics. Furthermore, a stability analysis was conducted to explain the critical condition of vibration, for comparison of the p-v characteristics curves under self-excited and non-vibration conditions.
