The use of fossils for of heat and power generation is a cause of concern due to emissions which are a great threat to human life. Solar and geothermal energy can be harnessed as renewable sources. According to second law of thermodynamics, theoretically maximum thermal efficiency is of Carnot cycle. However there are other cycles having advantages which includes liquid piston engine. This device is able to convert low-grade heat into hydraulic work. The basic principle of a Fluidyne is similar to a Stirling engine. This work deals with the dynamic modeling of liquid piston engines which is type of Stirling engine. Similarities between this device and an RLC electric circuit were considered. Pressure oscillations in engine were analyzed analogous to charging and discharging of a RLC circuit.
