stirling-animation-02.iwp |
The displacer type of stirling engine in action is shown. The displacer piston moves hot air between the upper and lower portions of the cylinder so that the heat is reused in successive cycles rather than being lost to the environment. The value of Q/|Q| tells whether Q is positive or negative. Click Show Graph to display position vs. time graphs of the pistons. |

A pump increases the pressure in a box enclosing 0.100 moles of an ideal gas. A pressure gauge indicates the absolute pressure of the gas in atmospheres. The dimensions of the gas volume are 0.0800 m x 0.0800 m x 0.280 m.
A thermometer indicates the temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius. More precise temperatures may be determined by calculation. |

A block resting on a piston compresses 0.100 moles of an ideal gas enclosed in a box. The gauge to lower right indicates the absolute pressure of the gas in atmospheres. A thermometer indicates the temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius. The dimensions of the gas volume are initially 0.0800 m x 0.0800 m x 0.280 m, where the latter dimension is the dimension perpendicular to the screen. |
