Engineering Design And Development, David Kennedy

Conference Papers

Combining Industrial and Functional Design methodologies for the development of new products and systems requires a broad understanding of human behaviour and industrial activities. The requirements of international standards, protection of the environment and the ability to make a profit on sales requires a sound attitude and approach to succeed, especially in current economic conditions. This highlights the importance of good business and management strategy that must be dynamic to meet the changing needs of the market. Competitiveness depends largely upon advances in the fields of design and Innovation, cutting edge research and new advances over a broad range of …


Preliminary Modelling Results For An Otto Cycle/Stirling Cycle Hybrid-Engine-Based Power Generation System, Barry Cullen, Jim Mcgovern, Michel Feidt, Stoian Petrescu Aug 2009

Preliminary Modelling Results For An Otto Cycle/Stirling Cycle Hybrid-Engine-Based Power Generation System, Barry Cullen, Jim Mcgovern, Michel Feidt, Stoian Petrescu

Conference Papers

This paper presents preliminary data and results for a system mathematical model for a proposed Otto Cycle / Stirling Cycle hybrid-engine-based power generation system. The system is a combined cycle system with the Stirling cycle machine operating as a bottoming cycle on the Otto cycle exhaust. The application considered is that of a stationary power generation scenario wherein the Stirling cycle engine operates as a waste heat recovery device on the exhaust stream of the Otto cycle engine. This paper is primarily concerned with the development of a model for a suitable Stirling cycle engine capable of running on the …
