Stirling Engine Generator

[md_bl]

I am Final Year Student Mechacnial Engineering and working on
Stirling Engine Generator Project.I know all the basic information
regarding Stirling engine. I have to design 2.5KW(Output Electrical
Load) Stirling engine generator.Can anybody tell how much indicated
power required while using Beta Type Stirling Engine.Another problem
is that which which of the Stirling Engine Theory best describe the
practical Stirling Engine.And I will be very thankful if anyone send
me pertinent material.

Thanx..
