Abstract
A design aid for Stirling cryocoolers is described. It consists of a digital simulation program for use on microcomputers, written in Fortran 77 and designed to be easy to use with no special expertise and minimal training. The program is versatile in that it can be used for all known types and variations of Stirling cryocoolers. It is quick and, in the comparison with data for practical machines constructed to date, is as accurate in predicting cryocooler performance as the more sophisticated simulation programs
