External heat transfer enhancement of a beta-type Stirling engine with fins as regenerator

The Stirling engine is an externally heat engine closed loop with a high theoretical performance and low emissions compared to other conventional engines. This property nowadays becomes very advantageous due to its multi-fuel capacity including solar, biogas and geothermal energy. In this study, a n...
