A conceptual design of Stirling engine suitable for onboard aircraft application is the motivation behind this study. The aim is to evaluate the suitability of the system to be integrated in aircraft as part of energy contributor by recycling the waste thermal energy. A parametric evaluation of an established Wobble-Yoke Stirling Engine state space model was performed to determine a suitable pre-compensator design that is able to produce the highest power output given the size and mass constraint. Simulation was performed using MATLAB in order to analyze the dynamic properties of the engine as a closed-loop system, with temperature, pressure and damping coefficient acting as controlling parameters. The parametric evaluation was conducted to determine the effect of assemble mass of piston, maximum displacement of piston and viscous damping coefficient to the performance of the system. The methodology can be used in the conceptual design process in order to determine the sizing and power output of the stirling engine system.
