Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
An Ericsson engine is an external heat supply engine working according to a Joule thermodynamic cycle. It is based on reciprocating piston-cylinder machines. Such engines are especially interesting for low power solar energy conversion, micro-CHP from conventional fossil fuels or from biomass and waste heat recovery. An innovative configuration has been designed where the mechanical pistons are replaced by liquid pistons. The engine is composed of two U-shape tubes partially filled with water, one for the compression spaces and one another for the expansion spaces. A thermodynamic model of the engine is developed. The model takes into account the dynamics of the liquid columns. It is shown that the engine indicated efficiency decreases when the rotation speed increases. The sign of the instantaneous torque on the flywheel changes four times per cycle, calling for a heavy flywheel. When the rotation speed increases above the natural frequency of oscillation of the liquid columns, the influence of the liquid pistons inertia is growing. Its impact is globally opposite to the one of the pressure in the cylinders. So, the effect of the inertia of the liquid columns is to reduce the amplitude of the torque variations.
