• Κύριος συγγραφέας: Organ, Allan J.
• Μορφή: Ηλ. βιβλίο
• Γλώσσα: English
• Έκδοση: Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom : Wiley, 2014.
• Θέματα: Stirling engines.; Stirling engines > Design and construction.; TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING > Mechanical.; Electronic books.

Key features of the book: Expectations are re-set to realistic goals; The formulation throughout highlights what the thermodynamic processes of different engines have in common rather than what distinguishes them; Design by scaling is extended, corroborated, reduced to the use of charts and fully il...
