Stirling Engine Simulation

Hi,

 

Can anyone give me help with a simulation of air within a Stirling Engine in Multiphysics. Im required to simulate the transfer of heat through a steel cylinder to the enclosed air, as well as the flow of the air enclosed within the cylinder and, ultimately, the effect on the engine's shaft rotational speed. Can anyone give me any hints that might be useful for this simulation. I'm new to Multiphysics so any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers.

For simulation Sterling Engine, do you have any assumption to simply the model? 

Basically Sterling Engine has the moving parts (e.g. piston), which needs the software handle the motion of simulation domain and also coupled fluid/thermal/(chemical reaction).

SIM-CFD has motion module, you can have a look over there as well.
