Automotive Stirling reference engine design report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6347147
The Reference Stirling Engine System, which was to provide the best possible fuel economy while meeting or exceeding all other program objectives is described. It was designed to meet the requirements of a Reference Vehicle, which is a 1984 GM Pontiac Phoenix (X-body). This design utilizes all new technology that can reasonably be expected to be developed by 1984 and that is judged to provide significant improvement, relative to development risk and cost.
