An inquiry regarding Heat Transfer Analysis was posed on the Model
Stirling Engines Forum. This may be of interest here also.

eat transfer analysis of any system is the summation of all of the
factors involved in crossing the barriers from the heat source to the
fluid (gas in the case of a Stirling engine) to be heated to a given
temperature. This includes the metal physical barrier and the film
factors and any other impediments to heat flow.

A free electronic college level text book on heat transfer is
