Theoretical analysis and performance investigation of Stirling cycle regenerators

This paper attempts to simulate the actual conditions existing in the regenerator of Stirling cycle cryocoolers. The mathematical model presented is solved by finite difference techniques and the results are then compared with those obtained by two other models reported in the literature. The analys...

Description
Summary:This paper attempts to simulate the actual conditions existing in the regenerator of Stirling cycle cryocoolers. The mathematical model presented is solved by finite difference techniques and the results are then compared with those obtained by two other models reported in the literature. The analysis is further extended to study the performance behaviour of the regenerators under different operating conditions.
