Original abstract
Achieving of good thermodynamical Stirling engine efficiency represents relatively difficult optimizing task. But attaining of maximal thermodynamical efficiency is not necessary, when we plan use the waste heat. The composition of enough accurate thermal model is important. We cannot neglect many energy losses. Only the theory of ideal cycles is not usable. Even the models dividing the volume of working gas into two or three sub-areas are not too accurate (Walker, 1973). The dividing of engine into many volume elements (the control volumes method) makes better results. But the accuracy of CFD calculations is not achieved by the model. However, this model is faster and more suitable for future optimization of engine parameters.
