✦ Synopsis

A new analytical solution has been obtained for the shuttle heat transfer rate in displacer/cylinder systems having an axial temperature gradient. The temperature oscillations of both the displacer wall and the cylinder wall were considered in the analysis. After the cyclic steady state solution was obtained for the temperatures of the walls by introducing complex temperatures, a simple mathematical expression was derived to calculate the shuttle heat transfer. The usefulness of the results was justified by approximate solution of previous work.
