Fluidyne is an easy-to-build and quiet heat engine using low-grade heat sources and not having any moving solid parts. Although Fluidyne?s efficiency is quite low compared with efficiencies of other heat engines, it has an important advantage of using recovered heat. In this study, a mathematical model that analyses Fluidyne is developed. The model utilizes the equations of conservation of mass written for liquid columns and working fluid. Sets of differential equations are solved using Runge-Kutta Method. In order to investigate the validation of the model, theoretical results are compared with experimental results and the results in literature.
