Carnot cycle says 100% efficiency. But stirling cycle have some heat losses are there. So how to say equal efficiency?

SANTOSH said:   8 years ago
Thermal efficiency of these cycles less than that of a Carnot engine operating within the same limits of temperature.

Efficiency of Carnot cycle is equal to that of Stirling (when re generated) otherwise Carnot has more efficiency.

Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle. The efficiency is maximum in this cycle. Stirling cycle is have less efficiency.

Carnot cycle is ideal cycle. The efficiency is maximum in this cycle. Stirling cycle is have less efficiency.

In of regenerative arrangement, the efficiency of Stirling is equal to Carnot otherwise it less than Carnot.

Ram said:   6 years ago
That Carnot is more efficient than Stirling.

But the answer is given that both efficiencies are the same.

Yes Carnot cycle has equal efficiency to Stirling but when the temperature limits are not considered.

Jitu Shasini said:   9 years ago
When Regenerator used in the stirling cycle then the efficiency of Carnot cycle = Stirling cycle.

But the question is asked in a general case. So the answer should be less than, right?
