Several online homeworkproviders offer upper-level courses in the natural sciences, such as organic chemistry, analyticalchemistry, biochemistry, and advanced mathematics. The majority of providers however, stop atstatics and dynamics when it comes to engineering. There are a few exceptions.

Calculations allowfor symbolic and numerical results. Computer simulation of a system is represented as the running of the system'smodel. Experimentation allows for the realization and verification of the results obtained earlier by the previousthree methods, for a real system.In this work we propose the integration of the lecture with calculations, simulations, and experimentation in order toensure that the subject matter under consideration is fully comprehended, investigated, and understood.

Page 25.593.2Abstract The Stirling cycle is characterized by high efficiency coupled with the ability toeffectively function on a range of heat sources. Included are industrial process waste heat,biomass, geothermal heat, and conventional combustion. Some of these sources are consideredto be environmentally friendly, renewable, and have therefore interested researchers in thepursuit of pollution free or near pollution free electrical power generation. Drawbacks to thecycle include a high level of mechanism complexity which can impact reliability and durability.Further, the cycle demonstrates a relatively low power output per engine size when comparedwith that of other prime movers.
