Abstract
Waste heat is that heat which is generated in a process by way of fuel combustion or chemical reaction, and then dumped into the environment even though it could still be reused for some useful and economic purpose. There exist today worldwide concerns about the best ways of using the deployable sources of energy, and of developing techniques to reduce pollution. This interest has encouraged research and development for re-use of the usually wasted forms of energy.
There are many methods through which waste heat energy can be recovered and utilized. Stirling engines are mechanical devices working theoretically on the Stirling cycle. It uses air, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen or even vapours as working fluids. The Stirling engine offers possibility for having high efficiency engine with less exhaust emissions in comparison with the internal combustion engine.
Recent trend concerns about the best ways of using the deployable sources of energy in to useful work in order to reduce the rate of consumption of fissile fuel as well as pollution. There are different ways to recover the heat available with the waste or rejected heat from different sources. Out of all the available sources, Gamma type Stirling engine is one of the most efficient devices to convert waste heat in to useful work. This review paper includes history, applications and use of beta type Stirling engine in brief. The ultimate aim is to design and develop the Beta type Stirling engine with the material available easily and it should run at lowest temperature
difference with highest efficiency.
