The efficiency of Stirling cycle is Lesser than Carnot cycle (which is an ideal one).
Three power producing cycles have been so far known that include two isothermal processes, namely, Carnot, Stirling, and Ericsson.

If regenarator is used then the efficiency of stirling cycle is equal to carnot cycle otherwise the efficiency is less.

- Carnot cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
- Stirling cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
As you saw, the efficiency formula of both cycles are same, so efficiency of Carnot and Stirling cycle is equal.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
- Stirling cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.

That Carnot is more efficient than Stirling.
But the answer is given that both efficiencies are the same.

For regenerative cycle efficiency of carnot cycle = efficiency of stirling cycle.

What is stirling cycle?

Due to heat transfer at constant volume processes, the efficiency of the Stirling cycle is less than that of the Carnot cycle. But the regenerative Stirling cycle has the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle.

The efficiency of the Stirling cycle is as same as the Carnot cycle efficiency.
Practically it is not that easy to build a Heat Exchanger to operate continuously at that much high temperatures. This is the major difficulty in the Stirling Engines. So these became obsolete after the introduction of an Otto cycle and the diesel Cycles.
