Numerical Optimization of the β-Type Stirling Engine Performance Using the Variable-Step Simplified Conjugate Gradient Method

This study focuses on optimizing a 100-W-class β-Type Stirling engine by combining the modified thermodynamic model and the variable-step simplified conjugate gradient (VSCGM) method. For the modified thermodynamic model, non-uniform pressure is directly introduced into the energy equation, so the i...
