It is September 2016. The UK is in the grip of austerity following a second banking collapse. Oil supplies have all but dried up. The priority of a provisional government is energy - energy to power transport, industry, agriculture, homes, schools and hospitals. A skeleton rail service already operates with the aid of coal-fired steam locomotives requisitioned from preservation societies. There is no international credit. Trade - where it occurs - is by barter. Energy is the new wealth. David Sewell is a retired - but still youthful - engineer passionate about technology as much for its aesthetic impact as for its contribution to material well-being. He lives within walking distance of Brunel s engineering masterpiece, the iconic Clifton suspension bridge, a yardstick for his professional and aesthetic aspirations. Sewell is scarred by a serious accident sustained on a Territorial Army exercise shortly after his return from honeymoon, and by the inexplicably abrupt end to an idyllic marriage five years after that. He has responded by focusing on his university career and, in collaboration with a researcher in Spain, Charo Jiménez, has dedicated himself to the development of oil-independent power generation. Their technology comes to the attention of the Ministry for Economic Regeneration, MERGE, for its barter potential - grain from Canada for exclusive access to the technology. Unsurprisingly, the situation is seen as an extortion opportunity by a Moscow anxious to repatriate former oligarchs currently residing in London. Sewell and Charo need all their resources - and the aid of steam locomotive Tornado - to keep themselves and the technology demonstrator out of the hands of the agents of Moscow s plans. The defining confrontation is played out on the suspension bridge at night. It leads to an emotionally-charged walk by moonlight with Sewell s ambivalent love interest Alex, a Slovakian woman less than half his age, and to his finally being able to reconc.

Some 200 years after the original invention, internal design of a Stirling engine has come to be considered a specialist task, calling for extensive experience and for access to sophisticated computer modelling. 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 c... Some 200 years after the original invention, internal design of a Stirling engine has come to be considered a specialist task, calling for extensive experience and for access to sophisticated computer modelling. 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 concept. Stirling Cycle Engines re-visits the design challenge, doing so in three stages. Firstly, unrealistic expectations are dispelled: chasing the Carnot efficiency is a guarantee of disappointment, since the Stirling engine has no such pretentions. Secondly, no matter how complex the gas processes, they embody a degree of intrinsic similarity from engine to engine. Suitably exploited, this means that a single computation serves for an infinite number of design conditions. Thirdly, guidelines resulting from the new approach are condensed to high-resolution design charts – nomograms. Appropriately designed, the Stirling engine promises high thermal efficiency, quiet operation and the ability to operate from a wide range of heat sources. Stirling Cycle Engines offers tools for expediting feasibility studies and for easing the task of designing for a novel application. Key features: 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 Illustrated. Results of extensive computer modelling are condensed down to high-resolution Nomograms. Worked examples feature throughout. Prime movers (and coolers) operating on the Stirling cycle are of increasing interest to industry, the military (stealth submarines) and space agencies. Stirling Cycle Engines fills a gap in the technical literature and is a comprehensive manual for researchers and practitioners. In particular, it will support effort world-wide to exploit potential for such applications as small-scale CHP (combined heat and power), solar energy conversion and utilization of low-grade heat.
