title = "Oscillating flow in Stirling engine heat exchangers.",
abstract = "Similarity parameters for characterizing the effect of flow oscillation on wall shear stress, viscous dissipation, pressure drop and heat transfer rates are proposed. The operating characteristics of eleven Stirling engines are described in terms of these parameters. Previous experimental and analytical results are discussed in terms of these parameters and used to estimate the nature of the oscillating flow under engine operating conditions. The operating points for many of the modern Stirling engines are in or near the laminar to turbulent transition region, and in several engines, working fluid does not pass entirely through heat exchangers during a cycle.",
