Stirling Engine G
The Transparent Stirling Engine is ideal for quantitative investigations of cyclic thermodynamic processes and specifically for understanding the Stirling cycle. The integrated generator has a two stage belt pulley and is equipped with a switchover option for operating an integrated lamp, external loads, or demonstrating the processes of a heat pump or refrigerator. Includes integrated engine generator and alcohol burner. Fuel not included; please use methylated-spirits, i.e. denatured alcohol.
Features:
- Recessed temperature measurement sockets
- Light barrier on flywheel
- Connection for pressure measurements
- String to measure the stroke of the power piston and determine volume
- Displacement cylinder and piston made of heat resistant glass
- Power cylinder, flywheel, and gearbox covers made of acrylic glass
Experimental topics:
- Heat engines and heat pumps
- Interdependence of gas temperature, pressure, volume
- Investigate pressure-volume (pV) diagrams and Carnot cycles
- Conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy
- Engine efficiencies and thermodynamic losses
