SNAP - a stirling numerical analysis program with user viewable and modifiable code

摘要

A new second order Stirling Engine thermodynamic design and analysis program for the serious researcher on a budget and the knowledgeable hobbyist has been developed. SNAP STIRLING NUMERICAL ANALYSIS PROGRAM offers many improvements and enhancements over previously available programs. SNAP is user modifiable so new heat exchanger geometries can be easily added or new constructions modeled. SNAP runs under Excel versions 5.0 and up and is Mac and PC compatible. The code is written and annotated in an easy to follow format. The 'source code' and all formulas are visible.
