Some of the latest gasoline engines to hit the market are super-efficient, thanks to their engineers playing with a little thing called compression ratio.
Ever wonder what the difference is between a gasoline engine and a diesel engine? Diesels are more efficient and cheaper to run than gasoline engines. Learn what makes diesel engines different!

For Stirling engines to enjoy widespread application and acceptance, not only must the fundamental operation of such engines be widely understood, but the requisite analytic tools for the stimulation, design, evaluation and optimization of Stirling engine hardware must be readily available. The purpose of this design manual is to provide an introduction to Stirling cycle heat engines, to organize and identify the available Stirling engine literature, and to identify, organize, evaluate and, in so far as possible, compare non-proprietary Stirling engine design methodologies. This report was originally prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the U. S. Department of Energy.

The Regenerator and the Stirling Engine examines the basic scientific and engineering principles of the Regenerator and the Stirling engine. Drawing upon his own research and collaboration with engine developers, Allan J Organ offers solutions to many of the problems which have prevented these engines operating at the levels of efficiency of which they are theoretically capable. The Regenerator and the Stirling Engine offers practising engineers and designers specific guidelines for building in optimum thermodynamic performance at the design stage.COMPLETE CONTENTS:Bridging the gapThe Stirling cycleHeat transfer – and the priceSimilarity and scaling; Energetic similarityIn support of similarityHausen revisedConnectivity and thermal shortingReal particle trajectories – natural co-ordinatesThe Stirling regeneratorThe Ritz rotary regeneratorCompressibility effectsRegenerator flow impedanceComplex admittance – experimental corroborationSteady-flow Cf–Nre correlations inferred from linear-wave analysisOptimization Part I: without the computerOptimization Part II: cyclic steady stateElements of combustionDesign studyHobbyhorseOriginsAppendices
