Title: A Composite heater for Stirling engines: an analysis of improvement of thermal flux
Abstract: A novel form of Stirling engine heater is presented which may fill the gap between the simple directly heated vessel and the complicated tubed heat exchanger of the high performance engine. The suggested design incorporates a composite construction in which structural loads are borne by one material and the majority of the thermal flux passes through a more conductive material which passes through openings in the structural vessel. A simplified analysis indicates the order of gain which is possible.
