Characteristics and Development of Shape-Memory Alloy Heat Engine
2010
Journal of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering
Preserved Fulltext
Since a solid-state heat engine using a shape memory alloy (SMA) works at the temperature difference of several ten degrees, the development of the SMA-heat engine to use the low-temperature thermal energy around 373K is greatly expected from a view-point of global warming prevention. The working principle of the SMA-heat engine is discussed based on the recovery stress of the SMA. The output power characteristics of a tilt-disk offset crank SMA-heat engine and the basic working properties of a
