Abstract

This paper will report on (1) continuation through the 3rd year of a NASA grant for multi‐dimensional Stirling CFD code development and validation, (2) continuation through the 3rd and final year of a Department of Energy, Golden Field Office (DOE), regenerator research effort and a NASA grant for continuation of the effort through two additional years, and (3) a new NASA Research Award for design, microfabrication and testing of a “Next Generation Stirling Engine Regenerator.” Cleveland State University (CSU) is the lead organization for all three efforts, with the University of Minnesota (UMN) and Gedeon Associates as subcontractors. The Stirling Technology Co. and Sunpower, Inc. acted as unfunded consultants or participants through the 3rd years of both the NASA multi‐D code development and DOE regenerator research efforts; they will both be subcontractors on the new regenerator microfabrication contract.
