Abstract

Abstract: The present work emphasises on energy conversion through Stirling engines that have the ability to utilise renewable heat sources more easily and economically, making less noise. It's a heat engine working by compression and expansion of air or other gases in a cyclic pattern, creating a temperature gradient. These engines can also be considered as one of the best sources of clean energy systems that may have potential to play a vital role in upcoming years. In this paper, we will look at the history of the Stirling engine, its working methodology, and the numerous configurations that it can be built in. We will also look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Stirling engine, how it can be used in different ways, and how new technology is being made using the Stirling model, especially in the field of Solar Stirling engines.
