Automatic Combustor Controller Development and Liquid-Fuel Combustor Design Program

Abstract

This technical report, prepared for the Aerospace Power Division, Aero Propulsion Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, states design and test results of a combustor controller integrated with an existing 1kW free-piston Stirling engine. This report document also states the design of a liquid-fuel external heat system capable of operating with a 3kW free-piston Stirling engine. (Author)
