Some 200 years after the original invention, internal design of a Stirling engine has come to be considered a specialist task, calling for extensive experience and for access to sophisticated computer modelling. The low parts-count of the type is negated by the complexity of the gas processes by which heat is converted to work.

This 1992 book provides a coherent and comprehensive treatment of the thermodynamics and gas dynamics of the practical Stirling cycle.

The Stirling air engine is the core component of combined heat and power systems, and is becoming an important sustainable technology in other areas. This important book discusses how redesign of the regenerator can maximise the potential of this important technology.

Modern technology calls increasingly for provision of cooling at cryogenic temperatures: super-conductivity research, imaging equipment for search-and-rescue, contemporary diagnostic medicine (MRI - magnetic resonance imaging), space exploration, advanced computer hardware, military defence systems.
