  14. Alternator Selection Calculation (Mechman) • Selecting an alternator is a key component when designing the Stirling engine to reach an output of 2.5kW • Rpms required from engine when using a 3:1 pulley ratio • 900 rpms needed from the engine • 2700 rpms needed from the alternator • 1 hp per 600 watts to run the alternator • To calculate the torque required to spin the shaft http://www.mechman.com/images/products-s-curve-big.png

  28. Our Current Design Progress

  29. First Order Design Method Total Volume=MAX(Vexp+Vcomp+Vdead) Total Volume= (7065.3 cm^3) • Average Pressure • =2.02 MPa Total Net Work(Joules) W=dθ W=232.2(Joules) Power Output(Watts) PNet Work *Frequency Power= 232.2(J)*(9.6)Hz Output Power= 2229(watts)

  30. Second Order Design Method • It was not possible to run a second order analysis by simple calculations & equations because of the enormous amount of unknown variables so we built a program in MATLAB capable of running arrays & guess values to arrive at possible values • Our process for the Second Order Design Method. • Build Calculation Sheet On Excel capable of giving us accurate basic parameters • Designed MATLAB program capable of calculating numerous amount of engine variables at different speeds & pressures • Re-Designed Excel sheet to incorporate data from MATLAB program

  31. Second Order Results Output values from Stirling Program imported into Excel We have picked 15 Hz (900RPM) because we can achieve a high enough torque to up-gear our engine ratio 3:1 giving us 2700(RPM) at a high output power of 3010 (watts) Freq. (Hz.)Power (Watts) Therm. Eff.%Torque (N.m)Pressure (Pascals)

  32. Second Order Results Wout= net work done by entire engine Pe*dVe= The change in expansion volume as a function of expansion space pressure Pc*dVc=The change in compression volume as a function of compression space pressure Work in expansion space= 7162.2(Joules) Work in compression space= -6961.4(Joules) Pout= (7162.2)(J)+(-6961.4)(J) *(15Hz)=3010 Watts

  33. Second Order Results

  34. FEA ANALYSIS Allowable Yield Stress for ChromMollyAISI 4140 at 600C is 60,40psi or (417MPa) Max Operating pressure is 376 psi Max Hoop Stress Equals= 14,368 psi

  35. Second Order Design • Regenerator Design- • The regenerator reduces the heat transferred from expansion cylinder to compression cylinder by incorporating several small tubes & cylinder housing containing a porous mesh material which catches heat • The tubes help dissipate heat by maximizing surface area to help enable the convection of heat. • The tubes also help control the pressure & gas flow by causing a pressure drop which increases the gas velocity

  36. Second Order Design • As the swept Volume increases by a factor of “x” the # of tubes must also increase by that factor(if you double the volume you double the tubes)
