A Stirling Engine for Agriculture Designing, Manufacturing and Performance Test

농용 스털링기관의 설계 제작 및 실험

This study was carried out to develop a process to design a stirling engine utilizing agricultural energy resources and to understand problems confronted in manufacturing the engine in domestic environments, and to suggest methods to improve performance of the engine. A small prototype of the engine was designed, manufactured and tested for its performance. The study proved that more work would be needed to develop a method to seal the engine and to make the engine cooler. Performance of the engine was a little inferrior to that of the GPU-3 engine and was expected to be enhanced by improvement of heat transfer and power transmission mechanisms.
