Abstract This work aims to determine the optimal heat sink fin shape to promote the efficient rise of hot air away from the heat sink. The heat transfer and convective flow dynamics external to a commercial Stirling engine are investigated. In particular, this study employs an adjoint optimization approach based on CFD simulations to determine the sensitivity of the objective function to the shape of the heat sink and influence on the natural convection heat flow away from the external heat sink. This deterministic optimization approach increases the heat transfer rate of the heat sink by nearly 20% in this study when performing a small number of design iterations.

Sodium Heat Pipe

A hybrid sodium heat pipe receiver has been developed within the project HYHPIRE, funded 50% by the European Commission. The hybrid receiver was designed for the SBP/LCS 10-kWel dish/Stirling system with the SOLO-161 Stirling engine. Design of the heat pipe receiver and combustion system are described in this paper. The system has been tested successfully in all operation modes. Results and experience from the lab tests in combustion-only mode, as well as results from demonstration testing in the dish in solar-only, gas-only, and hybrid mode on the Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) in Spain, are reported.
