“…Clearly, reciprocating and rotary piston compressors and expanders are of interest in the applications just mentioned. The present study focuses on reciprocating piston machines; however, the results are transferable to rotary piston equivalents, as well as related engines and devices (e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]). …”

“…In many cases the unsteady (i.e., time-varying) heat transfer can take place simultaneously with pressure and density variations in the fluid, for example, in thermoacoustic engines [1][2][3], dry free-liquid-piston (Fluidyne) engines [4][5][6] or two-phase thermofluidic oscillator equivalents [7][8][9], free-piston Stirling engines [10][11][12], and pulse tubes [13][14][15], as well as in standalone compressors and expanders or when these units appear as components within larger systems. In some cases the conditions can give rise to conjugate heat transfer in the presence of the time-varying variations of pressure, density, and temperature.…”

“…This device weighs just under a kilogram and produces a nominal power of 1 Watt. A simple thermodynamic analysis of this type of device is offered in [2], and relies mostly on equations of state and intuitive notions of gas dynamics. This engine configuration was invented by William Beale in the 1970s and set the standard for future devices.…”
