✦ Synopsis

A theoretical analysis of the Gifford-McMahon cycle is presented. Expressions for the ideal refrigeration produced and the figure of merit are developed. Various losses occurring in a real machine are considered and equations to account for these losses are derived. Results are presented in graphical form.

Exergy or the available work energy function is a useful concept for analysing a Gifford-McMahon cycle. By definition, exergy of a state 1 is the maximum work that would be obtained in bringing the state to the dead state or ambient state for a heat engine. For a refrigerator, exergy is the minimum

A non-linear model describing the dynamics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of a dynamically balanced Gifford-McMahon (G-M) cryorefrigerator has been developed. The cryorefrigerator consists of two horizontally opposed first-and second-stage displacers, a first-and a second-stage thermal regenerat

A parametric analysis was carried out in order to examine the effect on the cooling capacities of the two stages of a commercial pneumatically driven cryorefrigerator, caused by a variation of several design parameters of the cryorefrigerator. The analysis was performed by using a previously develop
