โฆ Synopsis
Utilizing the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect of high-T, superconductors we developed a novel heat engine. The rotor carriers 20 Y-Ba-Cu-0 pellets at the rim. They pass the air gap of a permanent-magnet system in an open Dewar vessel tilled with liquid nitrogen. When in motion, the pellets, one after the other, turn superconducting and experience a driving force due to the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect in the divergent magnetic field at the end of the air gap. The efficiency of this heat engine working between the temperatures T, < T, and T,,> T, is calculated by means of the H, T-diagram. In a model analysis we treat the case of a type-1 superconductor (lead).

A solar-driven Stirling engine is modelled as a combined system which consists of a solar collector and a Stirling engine. The performance of the system is investigated, based on the linearized heat loss model of the solar collector and the irreverisible cycle model of the Stirling engine affected b
