The Carnot cycle, which is a theoretical rather than a practical cycle, has the maximum possible efficiency of any cycle. There is a theoretical Stirling cycle that is also reversible, which means that it would have the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle. However, neither cycle can be realized in the real world, so a real Stirling cycle will have a lower efficiency than the theoretical Carnot cycle.

Thermal efficiency of these cycles less than that of a Carnot engine operating within the same limits of temperature.

When Regenerator used in the stirling cycle then the efficiency of Carnot cycle = Stirling cycle.

What is the difference between stirling and regenerative stirling cycle?

Stirling cycle has less efficiency than Carnot because of heat transfer at constant volume. However, if regenerative Stirling cycle is considered then the efficiency of two is equal.

Stirling cycle has less efficiency than Carnot cycle. But regenerative Stirling cycle has the same efficiency as Carnot cycle.
