The low parts-count of the type is negated by the complexity of the gas processes by which heat is converted to work. Design is perceived as problematic largely because those interactions are neither intuitively evident, nor capable of being made visible by laboratory experiment. There can be little doubt that the situation stands in the way of wider application of this elegant conc 606 $aStirling engines$xDesign and construction 606 $aStirling engines 615 0$aStirling engines$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aStirling engines. 676 $a621.4/2 700 $aOrgan$b Allan J$0629750 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806817603321 996 $aStirling cycle engines$94107215 997 $aUNINA
