Literature Review Stirling engines were invented in the early 1800’s and since then there have been major changes to the design to adjust to certain criteria. In the early stages of the engine the ability to create highly efficient engines became limited due to technology and materials available. All the sources sampled agree on what a Stirling engine was and what characteristics make them different. A Stirling engine is a heat engine that has the heating and cooling of the gas which then applies
Nuclear powered unmanned space vehicles (USVs) represent the future of deep space exploration. Deep space missions require a power source that can travel further, go faster, and last longer than traditional chemical rockets or solar powered propulsion systems; nuclear powered platforms provide an ideal alternative. The United States is currently working cooperatively with other countries to research and develop nuclear power sources for space travel. Examples of unmanned deep space missions include
The diesel (internal combustion) engine has been a major source of power for transportation vehicles and industrial uses. The Australian railways have utilised diesel engines for regional and freight purposes since the early 1950 's. Despite the extensive history of the diesel engine, the efficiency of the modern internal combustion process ranges between 35% - 42%.[1] The losses in energy arise from heat losses and mechanical losses as illustrated in Fig 1.
